THE PLACE TO ENJOY
PUTTERERSEE AND KULM
The area surrounding the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn is home to numerous natural and spiritual sites that invite you to enjoy unforgettable experiences in every season. A particularly lovely recommendation for the summer is the nearby Putterersee and the adjacent Kulm.
Nestled in the impressive mountain landscape of the Styrian Enns Valley, the lake and mountain invite you not only to swim and relax, but also to enjoy leisurely walks and short hikes.
Swimming Fun at Lake Putterersee
On hot summer days, Lake Putterersee is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike. This moorland lake is considered one of the warmest swimming lakes in Styria. The clear water, well-maintained sunbathing areas, and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains make the lake a true natural gem.
It’s just a few minutes’ drive from the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, and the excellent water quality and peaceful atmosphere make Lake Putterersee an ideal place to unwind and enjoy yourself.
The beach area is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. during the summer.


A Relaxing Walk by the Lake
If you’d like to take it a bit easier, you can explore Lake Putterersee on a leisurely walking trail. The trail leads along the shore and offers beautiful views of the lake, the majestic Grimming, and the surrounding mountains of the Enns Valley.
Several benches along the path invite you to take a break. Lake Putterersee is one of the Natur.Kraft.Plätze of the Grimmingland region and reveals its special energy especially in the morning and evening hours. A true natural gem and an experience for all the senses.
Hike to the Kulm
Right next to Lake Putterersee rises the Kulm, a striking inselberg with an elevation of 918 meters. The hike to the Kulm summit is easy and ideal for leisure hikers. Once at the top, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the entire Ennstal valley.
Just like Lake Putterersee, the Kulm is one of the Ennstal’s “Natur.Kraft.Plätze” (Nature Power Spots). Look for the signs from the Grimmingland Health Region, which provide plenty of information about the “Natur.Kraft.Plätze” and accompanying breathing and mindfulness exercises that enhance the special energy of each location and help you recharge and find peace.
