Almsee, English sometimes Lake Alm,[3][4] is a lake in Upper Austria's part of the Salzkammergut in the Almtal valley, 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) south of the village of Grünau im Almtal.[1] The lake lies in the northern portion of the Totes Gebirge mountains and is about 2.3 kilometers (1.4 mi) by 700 meters (2,300 ft) wide.[2]

The lake drains through the Alm River.[2] Since 1965, the area around the Almsee is under nature conservation. Konrad Lorenz made important observations of the greylag goose at the lake.

Near the lake is Hubertihaus, a hunting lodge of the House of Hanover.
