Plansee, Alpine lake in Reutte District, Austria.
Plansee extends over 2.87 square kilometers between forest ridges of Zwiesel and Spießberg mountains, reaching depths of 78 meters beneath turquoise waters.
The lake's first documented mention dates to 1073-1078 in a border description of the diocese of Freising, where it appeared as 'Planse'.
The fishing rights of Plansee passed through generations of Tyrolean princes and monasteries, reflecting the historical importance of local water resources.
Visitors access designated swimming areas on the northeastern shore, with sunbathing lawns and facilities requiring small entry fees for campsite amenities.
A 300-meter canal connects Plansee to Lake Heiterwang at higher elevation, creating an interconnected water system in the Tyrolean landscape.
