Leonharder See, Natural lake in Villach, Austria
Leonharder See is a lake in Villach featuring shallow shores lined with grassy areas and gentle slopes. The water body covers roughly 2.3 hectares with a maximum depth of around 6.5 meters.
The lake formed from dead ice remnants as the Draug glacier retreated during the ice age. It sits on a gravel terrace left behind by glacial movement.
The northern shore has a restaurant serving regional Austrian dishes paired with wines from local vineyards. The spot draws people seeking to enjoy meals while overlooking the water.
The lake offers several swimming areas with designated zones and private spots along the shore for visitors. Access is easiest from spring through summer months, and shallow sections work well for swimming.
The water supports different fish species including pike, catfish, bream, carp, roach, rudd, tench, and zander. This variety makes it interesting for anglers and those watching wildlife.
