Leuchtenburg ruins

The legendary Leuchtenburg ruins rise up above the lake. The castle was built in the 13th century and was for a long time the home of the judge of Kaltern. Today, the ruins are a popular excursion destination and symbol of Lake Kalterer.

Lake Kalterer biotope

The reed area on the southern shore of Lake Kalterer is a Natura 2000 nature conservation area. This reed area lies at the fork of the most important bird flight routes. The area is therefore a place of rest and nesting for numerous rare birds and marsh creatures. Scientists have identified over 100 bird species.
