Freibacher Stausee
A reservoir south of Klagenfurt, dammed in 1957. In its south-eastern part lie the remains of an old mill at 3–5 m, and dive shops mention remnants of a flooded village; a little further north several platforms sit at 5, 10 and 20 m. Visibility is usually very good, which makes it a favourite training and trip site for Carinthian bases.
