However, in the lido you can enjoy the Tyrolean sun or rent a paddle boat, a row boat or dolphin boat which makes you experience the lake in a different way.
There's also a plesant walking path taking you around the lake in one hour. Finally there is to say that Vorderthiersee is also a famous venue for Passion Plays. From the building in which plays take place on Easter, you can enjoy a splendid view on the crystal clear lake.
