Dining out with the family typically costs between €12 and €18 per meal, but you can also enjoy free activities like lakeside picnics or summer swims at Lunzer See.

Where Danube curves through Wachau’s terraced vineyards, Lower Austria’s forgotten lakes offer respite beyond river cruise crowds. Lunzer See, Austria’s only natural alpine lake outside high mountains, fills a tectonic basin at 608 meters where crystalline waters maintain visibility to fifteen meters depth. This ecological marvel prohibits motorboats, preserving silence broken only by diving grebes and children’s laughter at Seebad Lunz’s historic wooden bathhouse, architecturally preserved since 1909.
Ötscherland’s adventure park suspends zip lines over turquoise waters where families traverse between swimming platforms via floating bridges. The lakeside Seehotel serves Mostviertler specialties on terraces where Ötscher mountain reflects in surfaces that freeze thick enough for winter curling championships.
Kamptal’s Ottensteiner Stausee spreads tentacles through granite gorges creating Austria’s “Waldviertel Fjord.” Strandcamping Orth provides pedal boat rentals for exploring hidden coves where medieval castle ruins crown peninsulas. Children discover garnets on pebbled beaches while parents sample Grüner Veltliner at lakeside heurigers. The reservoir’s Skywalk platform extends dramatically over waters, offering bungee jumping for brave teenagers while families picnic in adjacent meadows.
