Lake Altaussee, also known as Altausseersee, is a mountain lake located at the southwestern foot of the Totes Gebirge in the Styrian part of the Salzkammergut. It lies at 712 m above sea level. The center of the municipality of Altaussee is located on the western shore. The Altaussee Traun, which flows into the Danube via the Traun, serves as the outlet of the lake. The largely undeveloped shores and adjacent wetlands of Lake Altaussee provide habitats for numerous animal and plant species and have been under nature conservation since 1959. The Austrian Federal Forests own Lake Altaussee, which is a popular excursion destination due to its beautiful location. Every third year, the lake hosts the Daffodil Festival, Austria's largest flower festival.[1]
