    Small enchanted lake on the Thierberg. The almost black water and the untouched nature are very idyllic. Since the lake has only a few places to lie down, there is hardly any swimming and you can enjoy the silence and privacy.

        Lake Längsee is the most inaccessible of the six lakes west of Kufstein. It is nestled in a forest and has very dark water.

        Lakes around Kufstein and Kiefersfelden
        The lake has only a small stream as its tributary. Lake Längsee is not very popular as a swimming lake, as its beach has no sunbathing areas, but rather steep shores. On the other hand, in good summers, water temperatures can reach up to 25°C (as in early August 2014).


        The "Thierberg Lakes" (Pfrillsee, Längsee, Hechtsee, Egelsee) are tectonic features, small collapsed basins that may have been favored by cavities or other karst phenomena. However, the Inn Valley glacier had cleared them out, carved them out, and dammed them with moraine debris and meltwater sediments during the last ice age.

        However, Lake Längsee is prone to silting up. Its outflow disappears into a karst sinkhole, emerges again behind a hill to the west, and joins the Hechtbach stream, which is the natural tributary of Hechtsee.

              Small lake on the way to Thierberg Castle. Private lake, you can swim at your own risk, but few access options and sunbathing areas.

                Idyllic mountain lake, but not suitable for a day at the lake. Rather for the short refreshment after the hike :)

                              Lake Längsee near Kufstein is a tranquil, natural forest lake in the heart of the Thierberg mountain range, just a few kilometers west of the city. Situated at an elevation of approximately 550 meters, it captivates with its dark, clear waters and peaceful, secluded location. With a surface area of approximately 4.6 hectares and a depth of up to 20 meters, it is one of the larger lakes in the Kufstein mountain landscape. Steep, densely wooded shores surround the lake, lending it an almost mystical atmosphere. With only a few shallow access points, Lake Längsee is not a typical swimming lake, but rather a place of tranquility and nature observation. Hikers appreciate it as a stop on the popular Four Lakes Hike, which also passes Lake Pfrill, Lake Längsee, and Lake Egel – a tour that impressively showcases the wild beauty of Kufstein's natural environment.

                                The Längsee lies directly behind the Pfrillsee and is surrounded by forest. The water is dark and the atmosphere very mystical. Getting to shore isn't easy everywhere, but it's also great for a refreshing swim.

                                  A quiet spot on the shore for fish-watching. Entry into the lake is also possible from here.
