The Salzkammergut, the so-called "country of lakes", where many picturesque bodies of water are located, is considered the visiting card of Styria (a federal province of Austria). However, few people know that Styria has another "water" pearl - the Green Lake. Its specificity is that in the summer months it is a deep reservoir with crystal clear water, but by winter it dries up, and around it, as if by magic, a gorgeous park appears. So how do you solve this mystery of nature?
The "highlight" of Green Lake is that in winter the crushed pond completely freezes; a park with cozy benches, small bridges and many paved paths has long been laid out around it. Locals love to spend time walking along the park alleys.
With the arrival of spring, the snow melts in the mountains, and the depth of the lake increases from 1-2 meters to … 10-12! Everything goes under the water: both paths and neatly planted in spring flower beds, benches and perennial trees are also flooded. By the time the water floods the entire park, the land has already managed to hide itself with the “green blanket” of the alpine meadow, which is why the lake-phenomenon got its name.
The melt water is crystal clear, so Green Lake is a favorite vacation spot for divers. The depth is quite suitable for snorkeling; divers have an excellent opportunity to watch the fish swim along the winding paths, bypassing the abandoned shops. Starting in July, the lake begins to gradually shallow so that by winter the valley will become dry again, and an unusual ghost park has reappeared here!
On the site Cultorology.ru we have already talked about what natural wonders can be found in the world. Residents of the Italian village of Graun hear the bells ringing of a flooded church, and one of the famous landmarks of China is a flooded city at the bottom of the Lake of a Thousand Islands
