Innsbruck's Surrounding Regions Showcase Stunning Swimming Lakes
In the heart of the Austrian Alps, Innsbruck serves as a gateway to some of the most beautiful lakes in Tyrol. For students residing at the STUWO dorm in Innsbruck, these lakes are easily accessible by bike, making for a perfect summer escape.
The Natural Swimming Lake Schlitters, Möserer See, and Lake Obernberger are all popular destinations, situated outside of Innsbruck and best reached by car. The Natural Swimming Lake Schlitters, located via the Inn cycle path at the entrance to the Zillertal, offers a variety of amenities such as large lawns, swimming platforms, a beach volleyball court, a lakeside bistro, and sufficient parking spaces for bikes.
From the city center, the Lanser See, around 6 km away, and the Natterer See, approximately 9 km away, are easily reachable by bike. These popular lakes are ideal for swimming and recreation, offering a tranquil and picturesque setting. Other smaller forest and mountain lakes around Natters and Mutters can also be accessed by scenic bike routes.
Lake Obernberger, nestled within the landscape protection area "Obernberger Triblaune," boasts a stunning backdrop with the Triblaune peaks to the west of the shore. Although free to enter, the water is very cold, making it perfect for a refreshing dip on hot summer days.
For those seeking a more challenging hike, the Möserer See, located between Telfs and Seefeld, requires a 30-minute hike. This mountain lake, situated in a shady forest, is ideal for swimming, mountain bike tours, and hiking tours. However, due to the lack of a safe bike path from Innsbruck, it is best reached by car.
Lastly, Lake Obernberger, situated in the Stubaier Alps at an altitude of 1600 meters, is another mountain lake that can be reached by hiking. With its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views, it is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Tyrol.
In conclusion, for students at STUWO Innsbruck, a variety of Tyrolean lakes are within easy biking distance, offering restful and scenic water escapes. These include the Lanser See, Natterer See, and similar lakes around Innsbruck-Land, making for an ideal summer destination for swimming, hiking, and mountain bike tours.
Students at STUWO Innsbruck can also find relaxation by exploring home-and-garden settings, such as the Natural Swimming Lake Schlitters, which features ample parking spaces for bikes and offers a variety of amenities like large lawns, swimming platforms, and a lakeside bistro. Alternatively, those seeking a travel venture could embark on a challenging hike to the Möserer See, a mountain lake hidden within a shady forest, perfect for swimming, mountain bike tours, and hiking tours, but best reached by car.
