Piburger See
A high mountain lake in the forest above the town of Oetz, known as one of the warmest lakes in Tyrol. Swimming in summer and walks around the lake are very relaxing.
Piburger See lies at about 913 meters, surrounded by pine forests and rock walls. It is part of the Ötztal Nature Park and a nature protection area. In summer the water temperature can exceed 20 degrees Celsius. Along the lakeshore are a paid bathing area, wooden walkways, and small restaurants, and boats can be rented. The walk around the lake takes about one hour, is gentle and easy, and the reflections are beautiful in autumn. It takes about 5 minutes by car from the town of Oetz to the paid lakeside car park, or about 40 minutes on foot uphill from the town. Camping is prohibited in the protected area.
