Bridge over the Walchsee outflow

Highlight • Bridge

The water flows from the lake via the approximately 500-meter-long Walchseebach stream on the eastern side into the Weißenbach stream. This stream, in turn, flows via the Kohlenbach stream into the Großache stream, which empties into Lake Chiemsee near Grabenstätt.

Schwemm Moor Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

At 65 hectares, the "Schwemm" is the largest contiguous moorland in North Tyrol. The diversity of wetlands and the unique flora and fauna make the nature reserve a natural jewel. Since 2003, the Schwemm has been classified as a Natura 2000 area, thus providing special protection for the natural habitats of wild animal species and rare plants. For example, 33 different species of dragonfly live in the Schwemm.

From the bench, you can enjoy the view of the village of Walchsee and its church. In the foreground, between the two trees, you can see the Plague Column.

View of Walchsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tyrol's fourth-largest natural lake is just under one square kilometer in size and up to 21 meters deep. According to legend, the lake was formed because two rival farmers argued over who would use the beautiful, fertile forest that once lay here. One day, as the farmers met in the forest, quarreled, and fought bitterly, a spring suddenly appeared. Water flooded the valley and created the lake. The two farmers were never seen again.

Lake Walchsee

Highlight • Lake

With an average temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, Lake Walchsee in the Kaiserwinkl region is a popular summer destination. Four bathing areas around the lake, known as bathing beaches, invite you to take a dip. The "Seepromenade" bathing area, with its fine sand and shallow lake access, is especially suitable for children. Younger guests can enjoy a water trampoline, an iceberg suspended in the lake, and a pirate ship in the children's playground.
