Lake Koppenwinkel and the surrounding area have been a nature reserve since 1978! Surrounded by green alluvial forest, the lake is a place to relax and take a deep breath



Nature reserve in Obertraun

The lake in Obertraun is also known as Koppenlacke among the locals.
It covers 2 hectares and is surrounded by bays, rocks, flora and fauna.
The Koppenwinkelsee has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut since 1997!

Hiking trails and walking routes

This enclosed alpine basin with the Lacke and the steeply sloping walls of the Koppen offers a unique and impressive view and is one of the most romantic and peaceful spots in the village. There are plenty of hiking trails and walking routes in this area, full of untouched nature. A hiking trail branches off from the Koppenwinkelalm in a westerly direction, which leads past the Hagen and Bühlerbach streams and the so-called Ebnersteg to the Federal Sports School in around 60 minutes. The Ebnersteg takes around 15 minutes to reach the upper part of Obertraun, the village of Reith.
