History

Ancestors of the current owners had acquired the now contiguous with the area several times a year floodplain flooded in 1891 in the course of several years from the most rural landowners. During construction of the Danube power plant from 1976 to 1979, even though part was lost through expropriation, but the area was otherwise economically viable, initially gravel and crushed stone was mined from 1980 and the lake was formed. 1988, a bridge was built over the so-called Mitter water because the Ausee area is actually an island.

The opening of the water ski-lift was 1978. 1980 was followed by the restaurant and two kiosks and in 1983 the Village with appropriate infrastructure. In 1995, a small chapel was built, which also has a bell. In 2002, the area was affected by many flood-free years by the former flood of the century.

Noteworthy is the three- wards - stone at the place where the districts of Linz-Land, Perg and the city of Linz meet.
