The Kraiger See is a small lake near Kraig ( Frauenstein municipality ) in Central Carinthia. The lake with an unobstructed shore reaches temperatures of up to 25 ° C in summer. It is of glacial origin. Because of the strong eutrophication , the first artificial deep water drainage in Carinthia was laid on this lake in 1974 .
