The woman had entered the water only as far as her knees, while her 61-year-old companion from Tyrol went swimming alone. Other bathers later noticed her floating motionless in the lake and raised the alarm.
Her companion saw the emergency vehicles arriving only when he was swimming back. A medical emergency is suspected as the cause of the accident.
