    Hiking

    The Pießling spring is one of the strongest karst springs in Austria, which could meet the water needs of several hundred thousand people on summer days.

    This description from Wikipedia should also be added that bathing in the spring is life-threatening due to the strong suction effect, despite the apparently calm water.
