About Lakeside Furs
Lakeside Furs is a furry summer convention in Austria, held in a relaxed, personal atmosphere in mountain landscapes where there is no strict separation between organizers and guests. The first, in 2007, was at Grundlsee in the Salzkammergut with 20 participants. It later grew from a long weekend to a week, and moved through Zell am See, Angerberg, Faak am See, Lermoos, Wald im Pinzgau and Achenkirch. Each year has a theme, and activities include hikes, excursions, fursuit walks and train trips.
