In our new mini-series, explore with us some of the most stunning lakes in the Austrian Alps! A mountain lover’s paradise, Austria is the perfect destination for skiing, hiking, spas and relaxation, no matter the season.
Discover our top of the list when it comes to Austria’s most beautiful lakes: Offensee!
Offensee: Location and how to get there
Offensee is a tiny lake located at the western end of the Totes Gebirge mountain range in Upper Austria’s part of the Salzkammergut. The easiest way to get there is probably from Ebensee, a little Austrian town, located 90km away from Linz.
The best way to get to Offensee and the other fairytale-like nearby towns and resorts is by renting a car. This is by far the easiest way to move around in the region and to take advantage of its beautiful views and gorgeous lakes. Alternatively, the train routes are quite complicated, but you can catch a train to Ebensee and then get a ride to Offensee.
If you’re driving in winter, make sure your car has snow tires. Also, always keep an eye on your speed limit, and whenever you park, watch out for parking meters. Otherwise, you can get fined or your car may get towed. To be safe, you can check out some basic rules for driving in Austria here.
Once you get to the end of your drive to Offensee, a small parking area is awaiting and you can continue on foot. Follow the path around the lake to hunt the most impressive viewpoints.
