Egelsee Mauren / FL - Tosters / AT
The Egelsee is a lake in the Austrian-Liechtenstein border area between the AT / Feldkirch district of Tosters and the Liechtenstein community FL / Mauren. The state border between the Republic of Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein runs through the lake.
Originally a lake at the edge of the glacier, it was drained around 1830 by Alois Negrelli, who was working as a young hydraulic engineer in Vorarlberg at the time, and was then a swamp area. In 2011, the state of Vorarlberg and the Principality of Liechtenstein agreed to reactivate the Egelsee after almost 200 years in order to avoid flooding on the Liechtenstein side. The construction project was completed in 2013. As part of the construction costs of around 2.9 million euros, which were partly borne by the Republic of Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein, the lake was converted into a retention pond and a new cycle and walking path was built around it. With a total retention volume of 40,000 m³, the Egelsee now provides flood protection for the Liechtenstein communities of Mauren.

The Egelsee is a lake in the Austro-Liechtenstein border area between the Feldkirch district Tosters and the Liechtenstein municipality of Mauren. The state border between the Republic of Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein runs through the lake.

Originally a glacier rim lake, it was drained around 1830 by Alois Negrelli, who was at that time working as a young hydraulic engineer in Vorarlberg, and was then a wetland. In 2011, it was agreed between the state of Vorarlberg and the Principality of Liechtenstein to reactivate the Egelsee after almost 200 years in order to avoid flooding on the Liechtenstein side. [1] The construction project was completed in 2013. As part of the construction costs of around 2.9 million euros, which were borne proportionately by the Republic of Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein, the lake was expanded into a retention pond and a new cycle and walking path was built around it. With a total retention volume of 40,000 m³, the Egelsee now provides flood protection for the Liechtenstein municipalities of Eschen and Mauren.

The Egelsee is a rather small lake. You can take a leisurely stroll here, read or just relax.
