In Tragoess, Austria, there is a place called Grüner See (Green Lake), one of the most beautiful and unique summer resorts in the world.

In winter, the water level of Grüner See is almost completely dry, with only about 1–2 meters of depth remaining. Standing on the surrounding green meadows and looking out at the majestic mountain scenery, lush forests, and crystal-clear lake, it’s already a classic European landscape masterpiece and a very popular local park. But as spring turns to summer and temperatures rise in June, the melting snow from the mountains gradually flows down the slopes and fills the basin, submerging the once green park under cool, clear snowmelt water—transforming it into the stunning summer beauty of Grüner See.

In winter, Grüner See is stunningly scenic, surrounded by the Hochschwab Mountains and dense forests. The lake water takes on a captivating emerald green hue, offering another kind of enchanting view that draws many visitors for hiking trips. But summer is when Grüner See is at its most popular. In June, it attracts divers from all over Europe who come to explore the snowmelt-submerged park. Through the crystal-clear waters, they enjoy views of the distant mountains and experience the unique sensation of “walking” through a park underwater.
