Egelsee is a mire lake in Carinthia, Austria. The lake and its environment are part of a protected landscape area. It is located on the plateau of a hill chain stretching between the southern shore of Millstätter See and the Drava valley near Spittal an der Drau. The lake can be reached via hiking trails through the surrounding forests. Open air bathing is possible. Formerly the lake was also called Ecksee. The mire lake with an area of 9.35 hectares is completely surrounded by floating grass. Due to its location in the midst of a vast moor his water colour is deep brown. The acidic waters are sourrounded by quaking bogs, mostly of peat mosses. Sundews, bladderworts, alpenrose, hare's-tail cottongrass, bog-rosemary, and bog billberry also occur. All stages of bog formation can be observed on Egelsee. The local fauna include ''cyclops'' copepods as well as common frogs and water frogs, with large spawn clusters covering the shoreline water surface in spring. Originally there were no fish in this lake. The Millstätter See-back is about 2 km wide and 13 km long, honed by the last ice age to rolling hills barrier between Lake Millstatt (588 m) to the north and the Drautal (about 530 m) to the south. The lake is mostly a landscape conservation area, which is located in the municipality of Seeboden, Spittal and Ferndorf. The south shore of Lake Millstatt is natural as opposed to the northern shore in large parts and virtually uninhabited. The shortest route from Millstatt into Drautal - Lake Millstatt was thereby crossed by boat - went some distance to the east past the Egelsees. Remnants of the old flagstone pathway are still discoverable. ==Gallery== File:Egelsee Kärnten 01 2014.jpg| View to Hochgosch, northwest File:Egelsee Kärnten 05 2014.jpg| Swampy shores, view to east File:Egelsee mit Steg.jpg| Swimming at the lake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egelsee (Kärnten)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
