Discover Lake Ingering in Styria – an idyllic natural gem in the fast-paced Murtal region. Whether you fancy a leisurely stroll around the lake, a hike to the surrounding peaks or simply want to enjoy the peace and quiet, here you will find pure relaxation and mountain romance.
Imagine: you are driving leisurely through the rolling hills of Styria – past small villages, flower-filled meadows and dense forests in the green heart of Austria. Then you reach a small but impressive feeling of freedom: the absolute insider tip Ingeringsee (Lake Ingering), surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Seckau Alps and located at an altitude of 1,200 metres in Gaal. Here you will find true peace and a mountain idyll that is rarely discovered.
Why Lake Ingering is a perfect destination for a day trip:
- Unwind and/or be active – whether you prefer to stroll peacefully around the mountain lake (it takes about 45 minutes to walk around it) or continue your tour to the surrounding alpine pastures and peaks: Lake Ingering makes it possible and is the starting point for numerous great hikes in the Seckau Alps in the Erlebnisregion Murtal, if you wish.
- Star moment included – The Klementi Chapel, built in 2015 and designed with warm Swiss stone pine wood, not only offers a focal point, but also a breathtaking view of the mountain lake.
- Easy to reach – Access by car is easy: mostly paved road until you reach a short gravel road that takes you to the car park. And yes, the road is closed in winter, but you can snowshoe to the lake – and enjoy about an hour of winter wonderland.
- Attention nature lovers – an important detail: swimming is not permitted in Lake Ingering, but the landscape is all the more inviting for letting your mind wander and relaxing.
