Lechausee / Weißenbach quarry lake
Dive in and submerge: The small Lechausee near Weißenbach in the Reutte district is a freshwater dream for divers.
The mountain lake fed by fresh springs, which is mainly known to the locals as the "Weißenbach quarry lake", only has a maximum depth of six metres, but impresses with incredible visibility. Most of the time it is up to 20 metres, and in good conditions you can see almost the entire lake and swim past bushes and stones decoratively covered in slime algae. The bottom structure with its wave-shaped formations also makes the lake interesting for diving. A diving permit is required.
It is not only the underwater world that is fascinating here, but also the surrounding landscape, which is why the lake also delights those who want to keep their heads above water while swimming or just relax on the banks. The way the surrounding mountains are reflected on the water's surface is enchanting to see. Despite its shallow depth, the lake does not warm up very quickly even on hot summer days, so it takes some effort, especially for those who shiver or hesitate, to use the lake intensively for swimming. However, all visitors enjoy the blissful peace of this natural idyll without water slides, diving platforms and the rattling of motorboats, and people looking for relaxation particularly appreciate it.
There is no lakeside buffet, but two romantic barbecue areas are available. The Lechausee is freely accessible all year round.

Easy circular hike, also suitable for Nordic walking. Mainly fixed paths, with many opportunities for short cuts or extensions via forest paths

Today from Weißenbach along the old road along the Lech. To our favorite lake with an amazing color 😍 then over the Johannesbrücke where you can see the Lech in its full width. On the other side then back towards Weißenbach past the bathing lake, which has the same turquoise color 😁 A great round 👌
