Grüner See
Autor, Brate
The Green Lake (Grüner See) is one of the most famous lakes in Styria. What is it famous for? Mainly from large fluctuations in the water level . In autumn and winter, it is usually about 1 meter deep or disappears practically completely. In its close vicinity, there are many hiking trails, and its shores are the destination of picnics and family outings. However, after the winter thaw, the Green Lake becomes much more abundant in water and its level rises up to 12 m!

As a result, the surrounding areas, along with some trees, are flooded. Then Grüner See begins to be crowded with divers who can admire the amazing underwater views there. Of course, the body of water owes its name to the greenish shade it takes. If you like a bit more alpine hiking, then the lake area can be the starting point for slightly longer trekking in the Hochschwab Alps.
