Goggau lake

The Goggau lake is located in the Gurktal Alps , north of Feldkirchen in Carinthia , in a very windless basin. Due to the sheltered location, the water is not very mixed, despite its shallow depth, and after only a few meters it is low in oxygen.

The water quality is considered good despite the sometimes poor visibility. The small lake of oblong, rectangular shape is known in the region as a cooler bathing lake. The water has an outlet over a moor into the Wimitzbach . The area around the lake is very sparsely populated, especially the almost deserted Wimitztal . The lake is located in the municipality of Steuerberg . The next towns Steuerberg and Rennweg are about 2 km away.

The lake is located in the 100-hectare conservation area Goggausee (LGBl. No. 80/1970).
