Wiesensee, Seasonal lake in Ebensee, Austria.

Wiesensee emerges in a depression at the northern foothills of Hochkogel, reaching dimensions of 50 by 100 meters during its formation period.

The lake basin formed 15,000 years ago when the Würm glacial Traun glacier retreated, leaving isolated ice remnants covered by mountain debris.

The Salzkammergut region incorporates this seasonal lake into its network of natural features, representing the geological diversity of Upper Austria.

Visitors can observe the lake during spring snowmelt near Mittereckerstüble, combining the experience with mountain hiking activities in the area.

The water body appears and disappears throughout the year due to specific drainage patterns, creating a natural cycle of formation and recession.
