Klopeiner See

Klopeiner See is an alpine lake in Carinthia surrounded by forested slopes and characterized by clear water of good swimming quality. Multiple bathing areas dot the shoreline, providing different access points for visitors around the lake's perimeter.

The lake began attracting visitors in 1885 as a health destination, with the mountain air considered beneficial for respiratory health. This early tourist development established the foundation for the area's modern leisure focus.

The lake has long been a gathering place for people seeking water-based leisure and refreshment. The shores feature public bathing areas and family-friendly spaces where visitors swim and spend time outdoors.

The lake has clearly marked bathing areas distributed around the shoreline for easy access. The best swimming season runs from June through September when water temperatures are warmest.

The lake features a continuous waterfront promenade with viewing platforms, an unusual feature for Austria that allows visitors to walk the entire shoreline. This pathway transforms the shoreline into a leisurely exploration experience.
