Ice skating at the lake in Austria’s Salzkammergut
Winter dreams for ice princesses
Ice skating at the lake Wolfgang Slide towards the middle of the lake, hear the soft swishing noise of the blades underneath your feet and see the endless space of the skies above you: Ice skating is a sport that is hardly ever practiced in such extraordinary conditions.
When winter enters Salzkammergut quietly by the back door, the temperatures go far below 0°Celsius and the autumn air slowly turns into icy cold, then the time has come to visit the impressive lakes of the Austrian Salzkammergut Surrounded by that magical wintry landscape that is unique to Austria, their massive ice cover alone is an impressive sight. Walk across the ice-covered lakes, rent a toboggan or test your ice skating skills during the winter season in Austria.
It is hard to describe the feeling of standing in the middle of a lake, feeling the thick ice cover below your feet and at the same time realising the depth of the lake below you. Whether you visit Lake Wolfgang, Nussensee Lake, Grundlsee Lake, Schwarzensee Lake, Offensee Lake, Langbathsee Lake or other lakes in the region, once winter enters the country, nothing can spoil ice skating pleasures.
