The **Grundlsee** is the largest lake in **Styria** and a popular natural and excursion destination in the **Ausseerland** – known for its clear water, stunning mountain scenery, and diverse recreational opportunities.

In the western part of **Styria**, nestled in the mountain world of the **Toten Gebirge**, lies **Grundlsee** – also known as the Styrian Sea.

With a length of around five kilometers and an area of almost five square kilometers, it is the largest **lake** in **Styria**. The clear water, excellent water quality, and surrounding natural scenery make it an attractive destination for those seeking relaxation and nature lovers.

Around the **lake**, several public **swimming areas** invite you to **swim** – for example, in **Gößl**, at the **Strandbad Grundlsee**, or at the Seeklause.
[**Water s**](https://www.ausseerland.at/en/summer-retreats)[](https://www.ausseerland.at/en/summer-retreats)[**ports**](https://www.ausseerland.at/en/summer-retreats) such as sailing, rowing, stand-up paddleboarding, or pedal boating are also possible. The **Grundlsee** is rich in fish and popular with anglers; fishing licenses are available on site. A continuous **hiking trail** mostly runs directly along the shore and offers impressive views.

A special experience is offered by the [**Grundlsee shipping**](https://www.ausseerland.at/en/shipping-grundlsee) with the **Three-Lakes Tour**, which connects **Grundlsee** with **Toplitzsee** and **Kammersee**. The tour combines motor and canoe trips through an almost untouched natural landscape.

The **Grundlsee** is easily accessible – via the B145 and with connections to public transport from **Bad Aussee**.
As part of the **Ausseerland**, Grundlsee represents a unique combination of nature, tradition, and leisure quality in **Styria**.
