Warmest lake of Austria!(IMHO)
Klopeiner See, located in Carinthia, is one of Austria’s warmest and sunniest lakes, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The lake is known for its crystal-clear waters, which often reach pleasant temperatures perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and boating. With well-kept beaches and designated swimming areas, it's a fantastic spot for families, couples, or solo travelers looking to relax by the water.
