Lake Wildsee in Seefeld in Summer | Swimming Lake in Tyrol

The Wildsee, also known as Seefelder See, is an idyllic natural gem – surrounded by moors, forests, and embedded in the impressive mountain landscape of the Seefeld region. Located directly next to the pedestrian zone and the train station, it is easily accessible and invites you to walk, swim, linger, and enjoy many other activities with its tranquil scenery.

Two beach baths ensure summer bathing fun: The Waldbad Sonja is idyllically located at the edge of the forest and offers a sun bridge, direct lake access, a playground, and the cozy Café Sonja. At the front part of the lake, you can find the Strandperle outdoor swimming pool with a café-restaurant, heated pool, and children's area. Water lovers can enjoy jumping into the lake or the warm pool, while the little ones can have fun at the playground.

For the active ones, there is mini-golf or pit-pat, beach volleyball, pedal boats – and those who bring their own board can explore the Wildsee while stand-up paddling. A publicly accessible kneipp facility rounds off the nature and movement experience.

Tip: Cooling down for your dog on hot days

At Wildsee in Seefeld, swimming with dogs is permitted wherever there is free access to the lake. The area of the Sonja swimming pool is excluded. At the Strandbad Strandperle, there is a designated area on the right side of the jetty where dogs are welcome – they can also go into the water and refresh themselves here.

Leisure fun at the lake

Right by the shore of Lake Wildsee, you will find many options for an active or relaxed stop:

  • Pedal Boat Rental at the Strandperle
  • Beach Volleyball Court with net right by the Strandperle
  • Two Playgrounds – one at the Strandperle, one at the Waldbad Sonja
  • Mini Golf & Pit-Pat Facility next to Hotel Seespitz, right by the lakeshore
  • Stand-Up Paddleboarding with your own board allowed
  • Observation of squirrels & ducks while walking along the lake – please do not feed the animals! Human food like bread harms the animals and disrupts the ecological balance.

Tip for families:

A pleasant walk around Wildsee in Seefeld connects nature and variety: With a bit of luck, squirrels & ducks might show themselves, along the way there are playgrounds at Strandperle and Strandbad Sonja, as well as a refreshing swimming stop. To finish off, restaurants directly by the lake or in the town invite you to stop by – those who wish can extend the loop to the Sigis Sauhaufen petting zoo.
