So that your stay is perfect all round, there are of course the right accommodations. I did a little research on Airbnb and picked out the most beautiful houses on different lakes in Austria. Maybe there is something suitable for you!
Wörthersee, Carinthia
The Wörthersee in Carinthia is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country and is not called the Austrian Caribbean for nothing. With its pungent turquoise color and a water temperature of up to 28 degrees, the lake exudes a real South Sea feeling. So you quickly forget that you are actually still in Austria. So that you can enjoy your holiday to the full, you of course also need the right accommodation. This Airbnb is right on the lake and really leaves nothing to be desired. Panoramic windows, sauna, private beach – a number of highlights await you in this holiday home. From the terrace you can watch the sunset every evening and let the romantic atmosphere work its magic on you. Sounds like a great vacation, doesn’t it? In total, the Airbnb offers space for six guests and costs € 385 per night.
Fuschlsee, Salzburg
In the Salzkammergut you will find the beautiful Fuschlsee, which is still an insider tip. The emerald green lake is less touristy than other lakes in the Salzkammergut and offers good water quality. Even if the water temperature is not quite as warm with a maximum of 19 degrees, the Fuschlsee is still good for swimming. If you like it romantic, you should definitely go to the renaissance castle Fuschl, which is located on a small hill directly on the water and offers a great view. I have these near the Fuschlseeromantic accommodation selected for you. The wooden house is only a few meters from the lake and has cozy rooms. Each double room has a balcony with a view of the lake and a large bathroom including a bathtub. The center of Fuschl am See is just a few minutes’ walk away. Despite the great location, the house is an absolute bargain – an overnight stay for two people costs only € 88.
Traunsee, Upper Austria
At 191 meters, the Traunsee is Austria’s deepest lake and offers a wonderful backdrop. Surrounded by a phenomenal mountain landscape, you can cool off and try out various water sports. Lake Traunsee is particularly popular with sailors, surfers and wakeboarders, but those looking for relaxation will also get their money’s worth here. Whether hiking, mountain biking or simply relaxing – the Traunsee offers many opportunities for recreational activities. If you want to go on vacation with the whole family, check out this Airbnb look at. It is located directly on the lake and offers a private beach, among other things. A special highlight is the large garden with terrace, from where you have a great view of the lake. For everyone who wants to stay active, there are great cycling and hiking trails in the area. But you can also rent a boat and sail across the Traunsee – so it definitely won’t be boring. The house can accommodate a total of seven people and costs € 149 per night.
Green lake, Styria
According to sunglasseswill, the green lake is probably the most extraordinary lake in Austria, because it offers a fascinating underwater world. Under normal circumstances, the lake is only one meter deep, but when it is flooded by the water, the level rises so high that the entire surrounding park sinks into the green dream water. The phenomenon is due to the surrounding mountains, because once a year the snow melts and so the park is flooded by melt water. Unfortunately it is forbidden to swim and dive in the green lake – this is how the underwater world should be protected. However, you can stay overnight in Tragöß nearby and pay a visit to the lake. This Airbnb is entirely in Scandinavian style and offers a lot of comfort. You can walk to the green lake in about half an hour. In the house you will find many extras such as a pool table, a table tennis table and a sauna. Overall, the house offers space for 10 people, for one night you pay € 300.
Mondsee, Upper Austria
In the beautiful Salzkammergut you will find the Mondsee, which is particularly popular with water sports enthusiasts. Whether on the surfboard, on the sailing boat or on the water skis – active vacationers can let off steam at the Mondsee. But nature lovers will also get their money’s worth, as there are over 150 kilometers of hiking trails to discover. Advanced hikers should definitely go to the Drachenwand area, where a great view of the Mondsee awaits you at the summit. In the summer months the lake has temperatures of up to 26 degrees – so you can look forward to a real holiday feeling! I have these near the Mondseeingenious accommodation found for you.
