Wild and untamed, as a waterfall arrogance or quietly murmur: the element of water shows itself in many forms in Tirol. About 10,000 springs with about 1.5 billion cubic meters of water spring up in the Tyrolean mountains. Most of the approximately 600 lakes, plenty of ponds provide drinking quality water. And on a hot summer's day, there is nothing better than cooling off with a splashdown in one of the many bathing lakes.
