The Berglsteinersee is a beautiful natural swimming lake in Tyrol. It is idyllically located at 713 m above sea level in a forest hollow on a rocky slope in the Lower Inn Valley.
The lake is only two meters deep and warms up to over 20 degrees in summer. The lake is a popular natural bathing lake, but has no bathing facilities and no lifeguards. The bottom of the Berglsteinersee feels slippery and muddy, which some visitors describe as unpleasant.
From a large car park, you can reach the Berglsteinersee in about 30 minutes on foot uphill. There is a 150 meter elevation gain from the car park to the lake.
The walk around the lake itself only takes about 15 minutes. This short hike is particularly impressive in autumn, when the yellow-red deciduous trees are reflected in the Berglsteinersee and the leaves form a colorful carpet. The whole landscape looks like something out of a picture book.
In summer, a bathing and mooring fee may apply, which must be paid directly at the parking machine. Access from the parking lot to the lake is permitted for bicycles.
The Berglsteinersee is a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers. Its secluded location offers a quiet atmosphere, ideal for relaxing and switching off. Benches around the lake invite you to linger. Especially early in the morning or in the evening, when the sun is low, the lake offers impressive light effects on the water surface. Access to the lake is possible all year round, but the paths are slippery when wet.
