Alatsee, Mountain lake in Ostallgäu, Germany
Alatsee spans 12 hectares at an elevation of 868 meters, stretching 490 meters in length with a maximum depth of 32.1 meters.
The lake gained attention during World War II due to persistent rumors about submerged Nazi gold, though no evidence supports these claims.
Local residents maintain numerous tales about mysterious occurrences and unexplained phenomena in the waters of this mountain lake.
A 1.6-kilometer path circles the lake, accommodating families with strollers while offering access to sunbathing areas near the shore.
The lake contains one of the largest concentrations of purple sulfur bacteria worldwide, creating a pink layer between 15 and 18 meters deep.
