It is 588 m above sea level, is 11.5 kilometers long and up to 1.8 kilometers wide and is Carinthia's second largest lake after Lake Wörthersee, the deepest at 141 meters and the most water-rich lake at 1204.5 million cubic metres. Larger settlements on the lake can only be found on the northern shore, including Seeboden, Millstatt and Döbriach, the three largest towns.
