# Swimming at the Mondsee and protected Irrsee in the Salzkammergut.

Bathing at lakes Mondsee and Irrsee
-----------------------------------

### relaxation or rather action

Whether by kayak, rowing boat or air mattress: Do you prefer to simply paddle out on the lake and enjoy your private piece of nature from the box seat? Or do you want a bit more action, then we would recommend water skiing, rings or wakeboarding on lake Mondsee.

You can relax at lake Irrsee. The lake, which is entirely under nature protection.

The warmest lake in the Salzkammergut - is home to a large number of protected and endangered animal species and offers nature lovers and those seeking relaxation a well-deserved break from the stress of everyday life.
