The small Taxerhof Lake (German: Taxerhofsee, or Köglmoor) is located at a height of 827 m approximately 2 km south of the village of Ampass in the district Innsbruck Land, Tyrol, Austria.
On the one hand, the lake is mainly used for raising fish and bathing is not allowed. On the other hand, the lake is the remnant of a humid biotope and was declared a nature reserve by Ampass. On the shores, reed regions and humid meadows with some rare plant communities can be found (e.g.: small sedges and black alders). The lake is also a retreat area for rare birds such as heron and wagtail.
Mainly kinds of carp and trout are bred. The lake has good water quality between A and B grade. It is fed by groundwater and a supply pipe from the nearby Taxer spring.
