Tirol Lakes
Beautiful lakes - deep blue, emerald green or black - mirror in their crystal clear waters the forms of the rocks, the Alpine meadows and the forests of Tirol. The largest and best known are the Achensee, the Alchsee, the Tristacher See, the warm Schwarzsee at Kitzbühel and the Plansee, but these are only a few of the many lakes which offer excellent bathing in summer.
