Some general information about Zeller Lake. It is located in Austria (Salzburg), total area - 11 km², the maximum depth is 22 meters.

The coast of Zeller Lake is a real find for lovers of clean turquoise water and magnificent scenery.

It is dominated by grassy beaches, that primarily located within the settlements. Perhaps that is why Zeller Lake is popular among travelers.

The coastline of Zeller Lake is mostly straight, but the absence of winding shapes is compensated by the abundance of natural vegetation that is often present in the region. This vegetation creates a natural shadow that protects vacationers from the sun’s heat on hot days. These can be either rare trees or even dense forest areas, and it is important to be able to find them.
