Pießling Spring (karst spring)

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

To the Pießling Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here it is worthwhile to turn off the bike and hike to Pießling Ursprung. From one of the largest karst springs in the Eastern Alps, about 2,000 liters per second flow here in summer. After snowmelt or heavy rains, it can even be up to 7,000 liters. A great sight, especially through the turquoise shimmering water.
