Attersee - upper Austria

Attersee general info:

The attersee is the largest lake in Austria with 47km round. It is one of the only lakes where diving is very popular (which is rarely done in sweet water). There is a depth up to 170meter with 26 kinds of fish and a large range of plants.
Around the lake there is several parking spots with plates that indicate what kind of fish/ plants you can see in that area of the lake, this is unique!
Of course diving lessons and packages are sold, even in combination with overnight stays (packages).

Gustav Klimmt museum:

There is a  constant exhibition of Gustav Klimmt since 2012 with always one original painting in the museum at the Attersee. This is a very small museum and only for those people really familiar with this artist (I was not impressed about this style of painting and the museum is just 1 room large).

Waterfalls & waterstreams:
There is a big waterfall at the other side of the Attersee (from the hotel point of view) who is really worth visiting (forgot about the name, but there is just this big one here).

Next to that there is some remarkablr spots to visit with beautiful waterstreams.

For the real active persons there is the possibility to 'hike with your scuba mask'. This excursion is unique as you walk up along the river with a wetsuit and come down in the river while you slide down and snorkle in the small water parts full of fish. All info via www.up-group.at.
Really a unique experience and I was very disappointed not to have had the opportunity to do this as the water was to wild at the moment of my visit.

Diner cruise on the Attersee:
I was lucky I had the opportunity to enjoy dinner on a boat floating around the Attersee during 2 hours. The chef prepared great food on a buffet (vitelli tonato & mozzarella with tomatoes as a starter/ pork fillet with potatoes or rissotto with a mix of vegetables/ fresh strawberries with mascarpone). The food was of great quality and had a very good taste! 
It was amazing to have dinner with such and amazing Sunset and the Tirol accordeon at the background. 
Really worth trying!
