Overview

Badesee Going is a natural swimming lake situated at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain range in Tyrol, Austria. The water is cleaned through a natural biological process rather than chemical additives. It features a large lawn for sunbathing and a shallow area specifically designed for children. The lake is fed by natural spring water sourced from the Wilder Kaiser massif. Visitors can access a beach volleyball court and a dedicated playground on the premises. An on-site restaurant provides dining options overlooking the water. The facility is designed to blend into the surrounding Alpine landscape.

Insider tips

Bring non-slip water shoes as the lake entrance is natural and can be pebbly.

Pack a sun umbrella or find a spot under the established trees early, as shade is limited on the main lawn.

Check the Wilder Kaiser region digital guest card benefits before visiting for potential access advantages.

What to avoid

Do not enter the biological regeneration pond area, as it is strictly for water cleaning and not for swimming.

Good to know

Open only during the summer season, typically from late May through early September, weather permitting.

Etiquette

No dogs allowed on the lawn area; maintain quiet during peak occupancy; rinse off before entering the water.
