Wienerwald Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Wienerwaldsee, located 20 km west of Vienna, is a reservoir and the largest still body of water in the Wienerwald. It lies between the communities of Purkersdorf, Tullnerbach and Pressbaum. The lake, fed by the Wien River and the Wolfsgrabenbach, was used as a water reservoir until recently. The area is a water protection area, where swimming is forbidden in summer, as is ice skating in winter. Accordingly, the Wienerwaldsee has established itself as a habitat for a diverse flora and fauna. There are well-marked and well-maintained paths around the lake, which are popular with recreational athletes and walkers.
