Location

It lies between Pillersee and Hochfilzen in Austria, near the village of Unterwarming.[3] It gives its name to the Wiesenseetal (Wiesensee Valley).

Hydrology

Wiesensee is fed from the south and drained to the north by the Katzelbach stream.[3] It is close to the source of the Katzelbach and 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) from the valley watershed separating that stream from the Dunkelbach river, however both ultimately progress to the Inn river and then to the Danube. The lake is gradually silting up and the southern end has become a reed bed.

Amenities

Alongside Wiesensee are the Klettergarten Wiesensee (Rock Climbing Area), with 25 climbing routes, and the Kneipp water therapy trail.[3][4]
