Our family tradition. The historic recreational facility at Goldegg Lake is one of the few in the State of Salzburg to be constructed entirely of slow-growing larch. It has been owned and operated by our family since the 1920s. The current structure including the wooden changing rooms and deck chairs is reminiscent of the early 1950s and was completely rebuilt in period style in the 1990s. In 2022 the entire facility was restored. It’s a unique swimming experience – with a direct view of Goldegg Castle.

The water temperature tops off at 26°C (80°F) in the summer. Its velvety dark colour derives from the accumulated deposits of peat in the area. Renaissance physician and chemist Paracelsus recognized its effectiveness in medicine centuries ago. Peat contains valuable substances such as humic acids, trace elements, silicic acids and essential oils that penetrate the body through the pores and strengthen the immune, nervous, circulatory systems. Take the plunge!
The water’s healing properties
Goldegg Lake once extended almost completely around the hill on which the castle was built. Over the course of centuries, silt built up steadily, reducing the lake to its present size. Today it is surrounded by protected wet lands that serve as habitats for numerous animals and plants like rare orchids and varieties of buttercups, purple loosestrife, calamus, water mint, meadow knotweed, sedge and cotton grass. The reed belt is where countless birds have their creches. Lake Goldegg, which can be up to eight meters (26 feet) deep in parts, is home to pike and tench but also to beautiful golden rudd. Until 50 years ago the lake was also populated by mighty wels catfish.
