Schattensee, Mountain lake in Krakau, Austria
Located at 1320 meters altitude in Styria, Schattensee stretches across 4 hectares of water surface surrounded by mountain ranges and forests.
The lake developed naturally as a moor water body, maintaining its geological characteristics through centuries of Alpine environmental changes.
A tree calendar path encircles the lake, connecting visitors with traditional Austrian forest knowledge through informative stations about native trees.
Fishing permits are available at Gasthof Tauernwirt for 22 euros per day, allowing the catch of one fish during the season from May to October.
The lake features water target shooting activities where participants aim at targets suspended 107 meters above the water surface from June through October.
