Snorkel

Grüner See is a remarkable natural phenomenon. In winter, it's a small pond, but in spring, snowmelt floods the surrounding park, creating a temporary, crystal-clear lake where you can dive over benches, bridges, and hiking trails. (Note: Scuba diving is currently prohibited to protect the environment, but it remains a famous site).

Features

A seasonal alpine lake that floods a park in the spring. The main attraction is the surreal experience of swimming over park benches and pathways in extremely clear, cold water. Check local regulations as diving may be restricted.
