Neusiedler See

The Neusiedler See is barely deeper than a bathtub. You can walk out for what feels like forever and the water still stops somewhere around your waist — which is exactly why it is the best lake for not swimming and just standing around having fun.

Reeds, boats, sun, and two tiny sprites who clearly have no plans for the rest of the day.
