A Live Glimpse of Erlaufsee's Alpine Charm

From its vantage point in Mitterbach, this webcam provides a direct look at the stunning Erlaufsee, a pristine lake shared by Styria and Lower Austria. The view typically captures the shimmering, often emerald-hued waters bordered by a small beach and a wooden pier extending into the lake. Dominating the backdrop are the densely forested slopes of the Gemeindealpe, rising majestically and reflecting the seasonal changes from lush green to autumn gold or snow-capped peaks. You might also spot elements of the lakeside infrastructure, like a swing set on the grassy shore or a glimpse of nearby buildings.The live feed allows observation of the dynamic alpine environment. Watch as the weather patterns shift, from clear sunny days inviting visitors to the lake, to dramatic cloud formations gathering over the mountains, or even the subtle dance of fog. You can often see the ripple of wind on the water's surface, or if lucky, the occasional boat gliding across the lake. The light changes throughout the day, transforming the landscape from morning's soft glow to evening's deep shadows.Erlaufsee is a popular destination for relaxation and outdoor activities. In summer, it's a hub for swimming, paddleboarding, and fishing, while the Gemeindealpe transforms into a winter sports paradise. This webcam offers a year-round window into this beautiful region, letting you check current conditions before a visit or simply enjoy a moment of tranquility from afar.
