Pools and lakes in the Kitzbühel region

The Schwarzsee between Kitzbühel and Reith is one of the most beautiful bathing lakes in the Alps. Due to its moor content, it can warm up quickly in spring and develop its healthy beneficial effects. Take a leisurely lap around the Schwarzsee, for example, then jump into the cool, healthy moor water and finally enjoy the warming rays of the sun surrounded by a wonderful mountain backdrop. Pure relaxation! Other highlights on the Schwarzsee are, for example, the electric boats, with which you can sail across the lake, or simply let yourself be pampered with snacks and coffee on the sun terraces of the lakeside bistros.

For sunbathing, swimming and relaxing, the Municipal outdoor beach area and the beach area of the Alpenhotel am Schwarzsee.

If you have already explored the Schwarzsee, the Gieringer Weiher in the middle of the hiking, cycling and recreation area "Bichlach" offers relaxation and recreation. The romantically situated lake is a natural moor lake and an oasis of calm and relaxation. Four-legged friends are also very welcome at the Gieringer Weiher.

Directly on the edge of the forest with a panoramic view of the Wilder Kaiser lies the Going bathing lake. An international jury named it the most beautiful natural bathing lake in Tyrol - and not only because it is constantly fed by the springs of the Wilder Kaiser. At the shallow, white bathing beach with seperate children´s and non-swimmer´s bay, the water warms up to a pleasant 24 degrees. A hundred-meter-long open-air slide makes swimming fun a vacation hit! In addition, the little ones can romp around in the adventure play park with a pirate ship, while the grown-ups can fortify themselves at the lake buffet or enjoy sunbathing on the 50,000 m2 sunbathing lawn. 

The lake and the heated outdoor pool together make up a water surface of 13,000 square meters with the best water quality and pampering temperatures of up to 26 degrees. The easily manageable children´s area with a children´s pool and funny figures delights the little bathers and their parents.

The lido "Seearena Hechtsee" is a great place to relax, the restaurant "Seearena Hechtsee Kufstein" convinces with best cuisine. 

The Tyrolean Walchsee in the Kaiserwinkl should not be confused with the Walchensee in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps. With a maximum water temperature of 23 degrees, the lake is not exactly overly warm, but in any case not too cold for swimming - and the athletes who fight their way through the Walchsee-Kaiserwinkl Triathlon Challenge, which has been held regularly in August for several years, must be tough anyway.

The Sintersbacher waterfall not far from Jochberg is a true place of power. Especially during the snowmelt in spring, the moderately difficult hike there is worthwhile. Then the 85-meter-high waterfall swells enormously and becomes an impressive natural spectacle. On the way back from the waterfall at an altitude of almost 1,300 meters, you will pass the managed Wildalm (1,430 meters), a rustic old hut where the cowshed directly adjoins the parlor. 

The particularly impressive location at the end of the valley, the large masses of water and the extraordinary drop height of 380 m over three stages make the Krimml Waterfalls an impressive natural spectacle.
