Hallstätter See – Hirschbrunn (karsztforrás / karst spring)
Hirschbrunn is a group of karst springs on the south shore of the Hallstätter See, just west of the Kessel, where water from the Hirlatz cave system emerges. The streambed above usually lies dry and the outflow comes out at or below lake level; at high water it adds to the floods that can cover the road between Hallstatt and Obertraun. ARGE Tauchen lists Hirschbrunn as a lake entry that can be dived to either side. Cave divers from the local caving club have worked in the spring, for example installing a measuring probe in 2004.
