Lake Mondsee

Mondsee is a picturesque town in Austria, located in Upper Austria, named after the lake of the same name, Lake Mondsee.

Lake Mondsee, often described as one of the most beautiful lakes in Austria. This crystal clear lake, approximately 11 kilometres long and up to 2 kilometres wide, is surrounded by picturesque alpine hills, creating a truly breathtaking scenery.

Lake Mondsee is popular for many water sports and activities. In summer, the lake is a lively centre for swimming, sailing, windsurfing and fishing. Its warm and clear waters invite you to relax and swim, while the windy conditions are ideal for water sports enthusiasts.For those looking for relaxation, the surroundings of Lake Mondsee offer many idyllic places to picnic and relax. Cyclists and hikers can enjoy the many trails leading around the lake and through the surrounding countryside, providing spectacular views and the opportunity to explore the surrounding sights and sites.

Near the lake is the town of Mondsee, home to a historic abbey and church. The town offers a charming atmosphere with small cafes, restaurants and shops, allowing visitors to explore the local culture and gastronomy. We recommend an early breakfast on the promenade in this small town. You won’t regret it.

This place is suitable for all ages and all “types” of travellers. From Prague you can even get here very quickly and within 4 hours. Mondsee is also a beautiful area to explore during a long weekend.
