Fishing at the Schattensee

Krakau

A natural gem of a special kind is the "Schattensee". It impresses with its natural, calm, and above all romantic surroundings in the midst of the Krakau mountain landscape.

The Shadow Lake has a lot to offer: besides water disc shooting and a circular path with a tree calendar, you can swim and fish in this bog lake.

Tip: Dogs are allowed
