Where can you swim with a dog?

ALMSEE & ÖDSEEN

This natural lake in the Almtal only has a maximum temperature of 20 degrees, but it is beautiful. We especially recommend a walk around the lake, where your dog can always cool off, although we would like to point out that you are in nature reserves here.

TRAUNSEE

Places where dogs are prohibited have been specially marked in parts, but dogs are still not allowed everywhere. Very beautiful bathing bays on the eastern shore. Dogs are also allowed in the water in the town of Gmunden.

RIVERS

There are many bathing places for dog vacationers on the Traun.

Vacationing or hiking with a dog is very popular with us, since our diverse hiking opportunities along the Alm and various smaller streams (Vorderer Rinnbach, Hinterer Rinnbach, Hetzautal, ...) are well suited for hiking and refreshing with a dog.

We ask you to keep your four-legged friend on a leash here, as a large number of birds have their breeding grounds in the shore zones of the lakes.

By the way: According to Austrian law, dogs are always allowed to bathe in flowing waters!
