Peaceful Waters at the Asitz

Find out all about water. The crystal clear reservoir above the mid station of the Asitz lift is nestled beautifully in the surrounding mountain scenery. The sight of the light reflecting on the water with the Leogang mountains in the background has a soothing effect. The Kneipp area offers you the chance of sensing cold water on your body, the stepping stones are wonderful for practising balance, and the path around the lake invites you to take a stroll, then relax on the loungers on the lakeside or enjoy the remarkable view from the amazing floating platform. 

Here you find yourself surrounded by the breathtaking nature of the beautiful Saalfelden Leogang scenery. Water features in and around the reservoir convey a sensation of relaxation.

Just relax for one moment ...

The “Störhölzer”

On the uppermost plateau of the reservoir you can see round wooden elements rising out of the ground in different ways, the so-called “Störhölzer”. These add an artistic element and give a source of inspiration for contemplation.

The Störhölzer are a project of the HTL Saalfelden college with artistic support from Hans-Peter Profunser, initiated with him by the Leoganger Bergbahnen. The Störhölzer are supposed to represent a disturbing factor in an otherwise seemingly idyllic landscape. The sculpture presents a contrast to the soft ambience of the setting. They are not meant to blend smoothly into their surroundings. Visitors should be inspired to think. Is so much change and technology could for the mountain?

The chapel

Above the reservoir there is a newly constructed chapel and a rest pool, a place where people can pause to sort their thoughts and find their own centre.
