It can be found at the upper part of the Wattental valley at a height of 2,240 metres.

[1] The lake can be reached by following the road Wattentalstraße beginning in Wattens.

Then above the Moels Alp the lake may be gained by walking up a pretty steep trail heading for the Moels col (Mölser Scharte).

The mountain lake lies within a military training area, so it can be only visited at certain particular times.

[1] The lake is very cold and, even in midsummer, temperatures of 16 °C (61 °F) are rarely reached.
