Description
Turquoise green and crystal clear: Lake Erlaufsee, not far from Mitterbach, lies at the foot of the Gemeindealpe and Styrian Bürgeralpe. It connects the federal states of Lower Austria and Styria. And just a stone's throw away is the famous pilgrimage site of Mariazell.
Covering an area of 58 hectares, the picturesque mountain lake is ideal for swimming, boating, fishing and diving. It is also a popular excursion and vacation destination in the middle of one of the Mostviertel's most beautiful hiking areas.
Lake Erlaufsee: swimming paradise & diving hotspot
With its sunbathing lawn and pebble beach, Lake Erlaufsee is a summer mecca for bathing, swimming and splashing around. Divers love the water, which is up to 38 meters deep, especially for its clear visibility and exciting underwater worlds - and of course for the affiliated diving school. Passionate anglers, on the other hand, can enjoy the numerous fish in the water - from perch to char.
Family excursion to Mitterbach: boating & vacationing
Over 30 rowing, pedal and electric boats can be rented for a lovely trip around the lake. Enjoyment and refreshments await in the restaurant and snack station. For a vacation close to nature directly on Lake Erlaufsee, there is a campsite on the shore as well as great apartments, inns and vacation farms in Mitterbach.
