Strange Austrian Lake Vanishes and Reappears in Mythic Terrain
An anonymous era-opening survey describes the Lake of Zirkaltz in the Gulf of Quarnero region, detailing waters that vanish for weeks each July, reappearing in August as the bed exposes itself. It notes subterranean feeds, extensive caverns like Adelsberg, and a landscape where peasants harvest crops from the lakebed before waters rush back, refilling the basin over years.
