Trumerseen

Trumerseen is a nature reserve in Salzburg featuring three connected lakes: Obertrumer See, Mattsee, and Grabensee that form a large freshwater system. The area covers about 410 hectares and is surrounded by forests, meadows, and smaller water bodies.

The reserve was established in 1972 to protect the lakes and shoreline habitats from development and disruption. This official protection status came as part of growing awareness about preserving natural habitats in Austria.

The lakeside communities use these waters and shores as gathering places for recreation and social time, especially during warmer months. Local people regularly visit for walks, swimming, and enjoying time outdoors with family and friends.

Marked trails circle all three lakes with designated areas for swimming and nature watching available throughout the reserve. Access is easiest from nearby villages, and parking is available at several entry points around the system.

The reserve contains several small lakes like the Egelseen that provide specialized habitats for rare aquatic and marsh plants. These smaller water bodies are particularly valuable for protecting plant and animal species that depend on these specific conditions.
