The Blausee in Obersulzbachtal in the municipality of Neukirchen am Großvenediger is a small lake in the Salzburg region of Oberpinzgau . The area is used as a recreational area, but is protected as a biotope .
Geography and history
The Blausee is located at the valley exit of the Obersulzbachtal near Sulzau and Siggen at an altitude of 925 m above sea level. A. It is a so-called spring or pressurized water lake , so it was created by rising groundwater .
In addition, around 1910 after the erection of an approximately twelve-meter-high bed load barrier on the lower reaches of the Obersulzbach itself, another lake formed as an extension of the watercourse.
In 1987, the Blue Lake was severe weather vermurt . The shallow water areas silted up until 2006 and were then rehabilitated to preserve the waters that were considered to be ecologically valuable.
