Weißensee
Weißensee is the highest alpine swimming lake in Carinthia, at about 930 m, in the Gailtal Alps. The lake is about 11 km long, clear and clean, and much of it lies inside a nature park. A few small villages sit on the shore, and large parts of the banks are undeveloped.
The lake is quiet and natural. In summer it is for swimming, boating and walking. In winter it freezes, and becomes one of Europe's largest natural ice rinks.
