Plansee – Kaiserbrunnen
Kaiserbrunnen, on the Planseestraße at the western end of the lake towards Reutte, is the third of the designated Plansee entries named by divers. You park by the road and climb down steep steps to the water. Divers describe it as quieter and less spectacular than the two object-rich entries at the Planseecamp and Hotel Forelle.
