Strumern Karst Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The karst spring - also known as "Strumern" - bubbles up most in spring. Because that's when the snow from the Dachstein melts. But the natural spectacle is beautiful to look at all year round.

It's simply wonderful to walk around the lake on the narrow path right next to the water.

A magical place with the mossy, round stones that were formed by the power of water. I am completely fascinated by this natural spectacle, with springs bubbling up in so many different places and developing into rushing streams with countless small waterfalls.

Birdsong, rustling leaves, fresh air and a nature reserve all around - you don't need to book a forest bathing course.
