Summer, sun, bathing pleasure – and that without admission! If you want to relax in one of the crystal lakes in Austria, you do not have to dig deep into your pocket. Because the Austrian federal forest, which is owned by the Republic, offers around 70 free natural baths in their lakes.
The federal forest is not only forest giants, but also the secret rulers of the lakes. Spokesperson Georg Schöpps of the board summarizes it: “We are the biggest supervisors of the lake in the country. If you jump into a lake in the summer, the chance is 2-1 that it is a federal forest lake.” From Attersee to Wörthersee: here comes the ultimate list of bathing spots, including an interactive map and photo gallery for anyone who wants to make comfortable on the coast or jump into the cool water!
