Those who enjoy a much slower, more laid-back pace should visit the Schwarzsee, a picturesque little lake located just three kilometers northwest of Kitzbühel.
Named after its dark green waters — an effect that's caused by its moorland setting, which has also resulted in mineral-rich water — Schwarzsee is immensely popular for swimming, sunbathing, fishing (carp and pike are plentiful), as well as people-powered boating, such as canoeing and kayaking (rowboats are available for rent).
