A Day at Lake Fuschl

by David Strohmer

Going from Salzburg towards the Salzkammergut, Lake Fuschl is the first lake you get to - and also the clearest in the region. Located around 20km (approx. 12.5 miles) in the east of Salzburg, the Lake Fuschl attracts thousands of tourists each year.

Lake Fuschl's inviting shores are popular for hiking, it takes about 3 hours to surround the lake. The hike isn't exhausting at all and offers many rewarding outlooks on the surrounding mountains.
