Ödensee

Bad Mitterndorf

The Ödensee is a typical forest moor lake, surrounded by dense woods and lush lakeside vegetation. What is striking about this lake is the exclusively underground inflow. The quick hike around the lake (approximately 2.2 km) takes place on well-maintained forest and forestry paths. In summer, the Ödensee, as one of the smaller lakes in the Salzkammergut, remains a popular bathing lake for locals and guests.
