The Krummschnabelsee is a small alpine lake above Obertauern in the Radstadter Tauern, notable for the turquoise color produced by glacial flour suspension in its water. It sits at around 1,900 meters and requires a hike to reach, which is what makes it a worthwhile destination compared to the roadside lakes further down the valley.
