Fuschlsee (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Fuschlsee?
What makes it 79% Kids-Friendly: Kids get beaches with slides, trampolines, playgrounds, minigolf and beginner hikes, but parents must supervise deep water and check opening months of Fuschlseebad and rope park.
Positives:
- Kid-friendly facilities: Playgrounds, sand bays, toilets and changing rooms are available at main beaches.
- Gentle trails: Short themed paths and flat promenades suit ages 3–12 and strollers.
Challenges:
- Parking: Beach parking fills quickly; consider public transport or arrive by 9 AM.
- Seasonal opening: Most lidos and water slides close by late September.
What is Fuschlsee?
- An alpine lake in the Salzkammergut region of Salzburg state
- Fed by subterranean springs and celebrated for its exceptionally clear, turquoise waters
- Fringed by mixed forests and home to historic landmarks such as Schloss Fuschl and the Sissi Museum

The best place on the planet 🌎❤️❤️💕💕😍😍!!
Yani Darrell Holzrichter
One of the most beautiful lakes in Austria, and also the clearest water in Austria. But almost all areas were private, which meant it wasn't easy to find areas to enter the lake. But we still found some secret places that make us like have a private lake area. We didn't do full complete ways around the lake because we didn't use comfortable shoes for walking. Notes: parking can be a bit confusing...

So many times I have been in and around this beautiful lake and it never disappoints me. Sunrise or sunset and everything in between, it’s gorgeous. The water is pure and most of the time you see the ground. A real gem in the heart of an amazing area.

Beautiful lake with crystal clear water. As I found out, motor boats are prohibited (thanks God!), therefore you can enjoy peaceful and quiet time at the one of the beaches around the lake. Highly recommended!
When is the best time to visit Fuschlsee (Salzburg, Austria)?
Swim season runs May–Sept. In early summer water warms slowly—bring a wetsuit for sensitive kids. In autumn, forest trails show red and gold foliage.
