Mondsee ('Moonlake' in English. How cool is that?!) is a lake in the Upper Austrian part of the Salzkammergut and neighbour to the larger Attersee. Its southwestern shore marks the border between the states of Upper Austria and Salzburg, and also between the Northern Limestone Alps in the South and the Sandstone zone of the Northern Alps. The Drachenwand (Dragonwall) at the southern shore of the lake is an impressive sight. In 1864, remains of neolithic pile dwellings were discovered in the lake.

Mondsee is amazing.
I spent a day there and in surrounding little towns (Attersee is great too).
I assume you actually have been there?
If not i recommend to everyone explore the surrounding area and its just 50km away from Salzburg.
Unfortunately I've never been there myself. I would love to, though, it looks really beautiful!
