About this place
The Mondsee (Moon Lake) is one of the warmest lakes in the Salzkammergut, reaching 26°C in summer. It is perhaps best known internationally as the filming location for the boat scene in The Sound of Music; the Basilika St. Michael in Mondsee town featured in the wedding scenes. The FKK section is at the eastern end of the lake, away from the main tourist infrastructure around Mondsee town.
The Mondsee FKK section offers warm, clear water and relatively quiet conditions compared to the busy main town beaches. The Drachenwand cliff on the lake's north shore provides dramatic scenery. Day-trippers from Salzburg (40km) and the Salzkammergut resorts use this as one of the warmer lake options.

From Mondsee town, drive or cycle east along the south shore. The FKK section is at the eastern end of the lake, past the main beach area.
Things to watch out for
The Mondsee can get crowded in peak summer. The FKK area is set apart enough from the main tourist areas to remain relatively quiet.
