Wildsee, Natural monument lake in Seefeld in Tirol, Austria.

The Wildsee extends over 6.1 hectares with a depth of 5.1 meters, featuring reed beds on its eastern shore and mixed forests on the western bank.

The lake's presence influenced the naming of Seefeld settlement, first documented in 1022 as 'Sevelt,' meaning field by the lake in ancient German.

Emperor Maximilian I established the lake as a lamprey breeding site, giving it the local name 'Lampretensee' during the historical fishing period.

Two designated swimming beaches border the lake, with changing facilities, a children's pool, and a volleyball court available for visitors during summer months.

The lake's protected status as a natural monument since 1926 prohibits fishing activities, allowing its ecosystem to maintain natural biological processes.
