About this Stone
This glacier-fed lake is one of Austria’s most iconic landscapes, renowned for its deep, cold, and incredibly clear waters that mirror the Dachstein mountains and the small villages dotting its shores. The area is part of a UNESCO-listed region shaped by centuries of salt mining, which once made it one of the Alps’ most important economic hubs. Today it draws visitors for peaceful boat rides, hiking trails, and the stunning reflections that appear on calm days—a place where dramatic mountain scenery meets centuries of human history.
