    The lake was formed as a terminal moraine lake after the melting of the Salzach Glacier about 10,000 years ago. Today, it is subject to inexorable silting. The lake, which is up to six and a half meters deep, is home to numerous animal species. A hiker can walk around it in just over half an hour. The views of Höglwörth Monastery, located on a peninsula in the lake, are remarkable.

      Idyllic lake with great views of the surrounding mountains. The small seaside resort Höglwörth is open from mid-May to early September, which is free admission.

        Beautiful monastery lake where you can walk beautiful. In summer, the seaside resort has opened.
