Lake Erlauf
Description
Turquoise green and crystal clear: Lake Erlaufsee, not far from Mitterbach, lies at the foot of the Gemeindealpe and Styrian Bürgeralpe. It connects the federal states of Lower Austria and Styria. And just a stone's throw away is the famous pilgrimage site of Mariazell.
Covering an area of 58 hectares, the picturesque mountain lake is ideal for swimming, boating, fishing and diving. It is also a popular excursion and vacation destination in the middle of one of the Mostviertel's most beautiful hiking areas.
Lake Erlaufsee: swimming paradise & diving hotspot
With its sunbathing lawn and pebble beach, Lake Erlaufsee is a summer mecca for bathing, swimming and splashing around. Divers love the water, which is up to 38 meters deep, especially for its clear visibility and exciting underwater worlds - and of course for the affiliated diving school. Passionate anglers, on the other hand, can enjoy the numerous fish in the water - from perch to char.
Family excursion to Mitterbach: boating & vacationing
Over 30 rowing, pedal and electric boats can be rented for a lovely trip around the lake. Enjoyment and refreshments await in the restaurant and snack station. For a vacation close to nature directly on Lake Erlaufsee, there is a campsite on the shore as well as great apartments, inns and vacation farms in Mitterbach.
Nature can be enjoyed to the full not only in summer, but also in winter on a tour around Lake Erlaufsee.
