Lake Gösselsdorf is located in the heart of a nature reserve. It invites you to stroll, linger, and dream all year round. In summer, the water temperature reaches up to 27 degrees Celsius, making it the perfect place to cool off on warm days. Its water is clear and of drinking quality. It is also known that calamus grows in the lake, which makes for particularly beautiful, supple skin.

I have to disagree with my predecessor. The lake is said to have very good, healing water, despite, or perhaps because of, the water lilies...

This is not the Tscheppa Gorge!!!

A stop at the Rieplhof is highly recommended. The service is super friendly and accommodating. The coffee and apple strudel taste excellent.

The entire lake is 80% covered with water lilies.

Beautiful lake, but not really suitable for swimming as it is 80% covered with water lilies.

A bench with a table invites you to take a short break. There is a free toilet (donations welcome) where you can also fill up your water bottles.
