Weißensee, Nature park municipality in Spittal an der Drau district, Austria.
Lake Weissensee extends across 6.5 square kilometers at an elevation of 930 meters, featuring clear waters surrounded by the Gailtaler Alps mountain range.
The municipal territory originated from Techendorf commune in 1850, with the name changing to Weissensee in 1968 to align with tourism development.
The municipality maintains a notable Protestant majority population, with 73.6 percent of residents identifying with this religious denomination as of 2001.
Access to Weissensee occurs via the B87 road, connecting Greifenburg in Drava Valley to Gitschtal and Hermagor in Gail Valley.
The lake transforms into Europe's largest prepared natural ice surface during winter, while summer temperatures reach 25 degrees Celsius.
