Lake Toplitzsee - an everlasting myth
Between 1943 and 1944 the Nazis used the area around lake "Toplitzsee" as a marine test station.
As the end of war became more imminent and the Allies were closing in on the Nazis, the SS ordered their men to dump weapons, explosives, documents, ammunition etc. in the lake in an act of desperation.
Since 1959 there have been repeated salvage operations in the lake, some of which have been successful. However the myth of hidden treasures deep in the murky depths of these unyielding waters remains.
According to legend Archduke Johann and Anna Plochl met for the first time on the banks of Lake Toplitzsee.
