Surrounded by mountains, such as the imposing “Hohen Tauern” and an incomparable panorama of the Alps, the town is located on 750 metres in height on the shores of the lake and on the slopes of the “Schmittenhöhe”. Water sports enthusiasts come here just at their expense, as the followers of the mountains.
