The small "Volderer See" or "Lake Volders" had formerly been a bigger lake but it lost a large part of its total size. Now the Lake looks like a bigger pond. It lies left by the Karls Church at the motorway bridge by the entrance to the village of Volders.
The Lake has no natural in- and outflow and mainly receives groundwater of the Inn River and from rain. It has a moderate water quality between B and C. Therefore the Lake is often plagued by alga creation. The Lake is surrounded by a small forest with ways to the church or to the village.
A myth tells that once a giant blocked the inflow with a large boulder and that is the reason why the Lake had lost so much of its size.
