The mire lake with an area of 9.35 hectares is completely surrounded by floating grass. Due to its location in the midst of a vast moor his water colour is deep brown. The acidic waters are surrounded by quaking bogs, mostly of peat mosses. Sundews, bladderworts, alpenrose, hare's-tail cottongrass, bog-rosemary, and bog billberry also occur. All stages of bog formation can be observed on Egelsee. The local fauna include cyclopscopepods as well as common frogs and water frogs, with large spawn clusters covering the shoreline water surface in spring. Originally there were no fish in this lake.

Remnants of the old flagged stone pathway are still visible.

Turracher Höhe, also called Turracherhöhe, refers to a village, a pass across the Alps, and a countryside in the Gurktal Alps in Austria. The village and the Turracher Lake at the pass, which both share the same name, are separated by the border of the two federal states of Styria and Carinthia. Because of its distance to early settlement areas and its high location, the region was not settled until relatively late. In the 17th century, mining was started below the Turracherhöhe. The opening up of the top of the pass by a paved road did not occur until later. During the 20th century, the region was gradually developed for tourism. Efforts are being made to maintain the diversity of flora and fauna of the Turracherhöhe by means of landscape conservation areas and careful and nature-oriented extension of the tourist facilities.
