The beautiful Badesee Lake offers refreshment and a pleasant rest during hot summer days. Can you imagine a better way to spend the rest of the day after a hike or bike tour?

The lake lies between Bad Gastein and Bad Hofgastein at the Bertahof junction. Parking is free at the site. From your hotel in Gastein, it is also easy to get here by bus - the bus stop "Bad Gastein Badesee (Bundesstraße)" is right outside the entrance. Sports enthusiasts can reach the lake on foot along the Achenpromenade (the walk takes about an hour and a half) or arrive by bicycle along the cycle path (30 minutes).

The entire area is 4.5 hectares, of which 2.3 are occupied by the lake. The maximum depth is around 4 metres. The lake has very good water quality.

The spacious meadow offers plenty of space for sun loungers and parasols. Both can be rented on site. Children can play in the sandpit with a slide, while you can play beach volleyball, ping pong or table football.

If you get hungry after all these activities, head to the on-site terrace buffet, which offers cold drinks and small dishes. The menu includes a variety of vegetable salads, sausages, baked toast, sandwiches and a selection of pizzas. In addition to the buffet, be sure not to miss a visit to the beach bar. Every Friday there is a beach party with happy hour!
