Rosenwind on Lake Attersee
The Rosenwind is a gentle, regularly occurring wind on Lake Attersee in Upper Austria. It usually blows from a north-westerly direction in summer when the weather is fine and is particularly popular with sailors. The name says that in earlier times the east wind often blew rose petals from the Kammer castle garden across the lake. Some also claim to have recognised the smell of the roses and derived the name from this
What makes the rose wind so special is its reliability and mildness. It heralds good weather and provides pleasant cooling on hot days. It is ideal for water sports enthusiasts - especially sailors and surfers - as it is steady and not too strong. As a result, it offers perfect conditions for beginners and advanced surfers alike.
