Elisabethsee, Klaus

Austria Lake 1 - Excellent

Elisabethsee is an artificial lake in Klaus, Upper Austria, created in 1972 with a surface area of 65,000 square metres and converted into a bathing lake. The lake was formed by damming the Steyr River, though its water composition indicates the water originates from groundwater and spring water in the surrounding area rather than directly from the Steyr.
