Lakes in the Wilder Kaiser region

Crystal-clear water and a fantastic mountain panorama

The Wilder Kaiser is a true summer bathing oasis, with lakes fed by natural mountain springs – like Hintersteinersee Lake in Scheffau, renowned as Tyrol’s most beautiful and cleanest mountain lake. But it’s not just the valley lakes that are worth a visit: hikes through the BergWelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental lead to idyllic mountain lakes that invite you to pause, relax, and soak in the Alpine serenity.
