The Preber is a 2,741 m high mountain, at the foot of a 350 m long lake extends, which is partly beautifully situated on the forest, as a bathing lake in summer quite popular. The Prebersee is accessible from Tamsweg in the Salzburg Lungau on a small country road after 9 km drive or hike to the north. Several times a year there is a very special activity: shooting at water discs. Specifically, one would have to say that is focused on mirror images on the water surface of 6 targets. The lead bullets overturning at the water level meet, if all goes well, as Geller, the actual discs set up at a distance of 120 m from the shooter. On the mechanical stand, the result of "Zielern" is shown between every three slices on the left and right of the water on six discs (see picture of the special stamp). Nothing is known about the origin of the unique tradition of "water disc shooting". It is only guaranteed that it has been operated since 1832.
