Tragöß - Sankt Katharein

Fairytale forrests and mystical mountains set the perfect location for one of the most beautiful and magical lakes in the world.

While suddenly appearing in spring, swallowing park benches and small bridges, the lake offers a variety of shades of green before oozing away in the course of autumn and finally drying up during the winter months... what a spectacular change of seasons!

A spectatcular change of the seasons. A wide range of shades of green. Fairytale forrests, mystical mountains and one of the most beautiful lakes of the world.

With the onset of the snowmelt on the mountains, the lake fills with crystal clear spring water up to a maximum of 10m. The height of the water level depends on the amount of precipitation and snow produced during winter. Come spring the breathtaking lake shows its most beautiful side until the month of July and August. Exploring the lake and its surroundings during this time of year means you will discover sunken hiking trails, wooden bridges and benches. When the leaves fall and the the air is fresh and crisp, the Grüne See starts to ooze away until it is completely dried up during the winter months. Now visitors may stroll at the bottom of the lake, admire the breathtaking mountain panorama or circle the lake on on of the two cross country skiing tracks around the lake.
