Geological conditions

The St.Kanzian is only weak flows. Only some minor superficial tributaries with low water flow and the groundwater feed him. Thus, the St.Kanzian is one of the least -flooded lakes of Carinthia, which also explains the high water temperature. The effluent leaves the lake to the west and ultimately drains into the river Drava. The St.Kanzian is 1.8 km long, 800 meters wide and 48 meters deep at its deepest point, the average depth is 23 meters.

The catchment area of ​​the lake has been for decades after the lake was " tilted " in the early 1980s biologically fully channeled. The St.Kanzian has since 1975 on a deep-water drainage, which removes oxygen-poor and nutrient-rich water. In this way, the depth of the oxygen-enriched layer of water is increased. While in the 1930s, the circulation flows reached a depth of 40 meters, the Company has scheduled a mixing only until 30 meters, so must be technically nachgeholfen.

Also, the 13 meter deep and slightly smaller Turnersee is known for its pleasant water temperatures. It is located about 2 kilometers away at Unternarrach and also belongs to the parish of St. Kanzian. Known among the fishermen is also the Kleinsee. This is located northwest of Lake Klopein.
