A rock rising out of the waters of the lake bears two crucifixes, for which no clear reason has yet been found. The 11 km long and 2 km wide lake is fed by the Wangauer Ache and the waters running off from the Fuschlsee and Irrsee lakes. Lake Mondsee itself drains into Lake Attersee. During the bathing period, the temperature is between 20° and 24° C, making it by far the warmest of the lakes in the Salzkammergut.
In 1864, the remainders of a lake dwelling village were found by the outlet from the lake, along with dug-out canoes and incrusted ceramics (ornamentation is engraved in vessels before firing, and then filled with a chalk mass) from the Neolithic Age (the Mondsee Culture). Of interest is the fact that until 1950 fishermen on Lake Mondsee continued to use dug-out canoes that still cut out of long tree trunks. Milestones and the foundations of villas from the Roman age are a further testimony to the past of this ancient settlement region.
Mondsee Monastery was founded by Duke Odilon of Bavaria in 748 and settled by monks from the island of Reichenau in Lake Constance, who adopted the Benedictine rule of "pray and work" around 800. They flourished until the monastery was abolished in 1791. Many trade businesses were founded in the surroundings, a phenomenon that continues to have effect today and has been further consolidated by the tourism business that developed after 1930.
