Every summer park turns into a lake

Lake Grüner See, also known as the Blue Lake, is located at the foot of the Hochschwab snow-capped mountain, near the Austrian town of Tragoss. During the winter months, the lake is only 1-2 meters deep, and the surrounding areas are used as a park. But in summer, the water level rises to 12m.

Green Lake Park is especially a favorite place for people walking. But when the temperature started to rise in the spring, the ice and snow on the top of the mountain began to melt and follow the mountainside, pouring into the lake. The lake gradually increased the amount of water and covered the entire surrounding area including the park. By summer, the amount of water in the lake reached a record level with a depth of about 12m. June is the time when the Lake Grüner See is considered the most beautiful.

Lake Grüner See has a distinctive blue color thanks to the grass, trees and leaves on the bottom, along with completely transparent ice melting from the snow. The temperature of the lake is quite cold, about 4-8 degrees Celsius and this time, it becomes an attractive place for divers. The grass and flowers are still intact, and bloom even when under water. Visitors can also see chairs, bridges and walking paths.

Entering July, the lake began to drain, and in winter, the lake returned to its original size; and Lake Blue Park is back to the familiar point of people walking .
