The Kammersee is a small, shallow lake in the Styrian part of the Salzkammergut in Austria . The lake lies in a rock basin at an altitude of 719  m above sea level. A. at the southern end of the Dead Mountains . The water level can fluctuate by up to 10 m depending on the precipitation, but is a maximum of 18 m. Therefore the area fluctuates strongly and amounts to a maximum of 1.5 hectares. The lake drains underground into the Toplitzsee . In rainy years, the excess water flows through an artificial canal to the Toplitzsee. This drift canal to transport the wood into the Traun was completed in 1549 and is 97 m long, 2 m wide and 6 m deep. A waterfall in the northeast of the Kammersee is called the Traun-Ursprung . During the late Ice Age, the Kammersee and Toplitzsee were still part of the Grundlsee .

The Kammersee can be reached from the east bank of the Toplitzsee, which can be reached with a plate or a hat. From the landing stage, the Kammersee can be reached on foot in around five minutes.
