Thaler See, lac autrichien
Thaler See is a small reservoir in the village of Thal near Graz. The water body is surrounded by meadows and trees with an easy walking path running around the shore.
The reservoir was built several decades ago to help manage water resources for the region. Over time it has become a place where the community gathers for leisure.
The name Thaler See refers to the village of Thal where the water body sits. Today the place serves as a gathering spot for local residents who come to spend time with family, have picnics, and watch the water.
The terrain is flat and accessible for visitors of all ages. Walkers and cyclists commonly use the paths around the water, and during warmer months small boats like pedal boats and rowboats are available to rent.
Local tradition holds that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was born in the area, proposed to his wife Maria on a rowing boat on the lake. This connection to local history makes the spot especially meaningful for many visitors.
