Egelsee
Lake Egelsee is a lake in the border area between the municipality of Mauren and Feldkirch in Austria. The national border between the Republic of Austria and the Principality of Liechtenstein runs through the lake.
Description
Originally a glacial lake, the lake was drained around 1830 and was subsequently a swamp for a long time. In 2011, an agreement was reached between the state of Vorarlberg and the Principality of Liechtenstein to reactivate Lake Egelsee after almost 200 years in order to prevent flooding on the Liechtenstein side. The construction project was completed in 2013. The lake was turned into a retention pond and a new cycle and walking path was built around it. Today, Lake Egelsee is a popular excursion destination all year round.
