    Lake Vilsalpsee is a lake located 1,165 meters above sea level in the Austrian part of the Allgäu Alps. The Vils River flows through it. Located below the Gaishorn and Rauhhorn peaks, it is a popular tourist destination in the Tannheimer Valley. An easy hiking trail leads around the lake, reaching the Bergaicht Waterfall at the valley's end. Since 1957, it has been surrounded by the Vilsalpsee Nature Reserve, where many species thrive, including rare orchids. The lake is the highest breeding ground in Austria for the great crested grebe.
