Den Toplitzsee erkunden

It is true, there is no walking path around the lake.

At Lake Toplitzsee, a boat ride is the only way to get around. Why is that? Well, here nature has set the standards. Rugged cliffs fall steeply into the lake and waterfalls break through the dense forest to cascade down into the lake. There is no way to reach Lake Kammersee without a boat.

In the winter it is occasionally possible to take a leisurely walk across to the other side when the lake is completely frozen.

What is the so-called Plätte?

Plät­ten are tra­di­tio­nal long woo­den boats that are spe­cial to the Aus­seer­land regi­on. They are were ori­gi­nal­ly used for trans­port­ing car­go around the waters of Sty­ria. Their design is remi­nis­cent of Vene­ti­an style gon­do­las and their flat hull allows them to dock easi­ly along the shores of the lakes.
