Ödensee

Bad Mitterndorf

The Ödensee is a typical forest lake, surrounded by dense woods and lush shoreline vegetation. Notable about this lake is the exclusively underground inflow. The quick walk around the lake (approximately 2.2 km) takes place along well-maintained forest and forestry paths. In summer, the Ödensee, as one of the smaller lakes in the Salzkammergut, is nonetheless a popular swimming lake for locals and visitors.
