Green Lake Ghost Park

Categories: Water |

The Salzkammergut is an amazingly beautiful "country of lakes" in the federal province of Austria - Styria. Here, at the bottom of the Green Lake, there is a real ghost park that appears only in winter. In summer, this place becomes a deep reservoir, and then you can only walk around the park with scuba gear. It's amazing to see cozy benches, flower beds, bridges and paved paths underwater...
