The Fen of Lans also: Lanser Moor or Water Lily Pond is located north above Lake Lans on an altitude of 582 meters in the Paschberg forest. With an area size of 8000 m² the Lake is much smaller as his larger brother is with a depth of 3 metres.
To keep his natural beauty intact, bathing and swimming was already forbidden by the city administration of Innsbruck very early. The Lake is under nature conservation. The muddy water has vicious shores with high reeds, which often hide big quicksand-like puddles. The water quality fluctuates between A and B grade. Smaller kinds of carps are living in the Lake and several ducks are using the Lake as their living space.
