Vols
In the 16th century, let Leonhard of Fie - Colonna, the captain of Tyrol, create an artificial pond - the Vols. Previously created as a fish pond, today fishing is prohibited on the Vols. In summer, the approximately 350 -meter-long lake is often used for swimming. However, this is only on the northern half possible, the south side is a reed with stock biotope.
East of Voelser pond is similar to Huber large pond which is not, but probably suitable for swimming fishing.
