A comfortable bench with a breathtaking view of Lake Körber and the surrounding peaks – ideal for a longer panoramic break.

Lake Körbersee lies idyllically nestled between alpine meadows and striking peaks, revealing itself in winter as a tranquil, snow-covered landscape. Instead of reflections in the water, snow, ice, and the surrounding white slopes dominate the scene. It's ideal for a peaceful winter hike with postcard-perfect panoramas and plenty of fresh mountain air.

From here you have a wonderful view down onto the Kalbelesee, in which the surrounding slopes are reflected in the right light. Behind it, the striking Biberkopf (2,599 meters) rises above the valley, creating a truly high-alpine backdrop. A perfect panorama and photo stop on your tour at the Hochtannbergpass.

Lake Kalbele is idyllically situated on the Hochtannberg Pass and, in calm weather, reflects the surrounding peaks. A beautiful spot for a short break right by the road, ideal as a photo stop or starting point for hikes around Warth-Schröcken.

A wonderfully clear mountain lake that offers refreshment, especially on warm to hot hiking days. If you undertake the circular tour to the Braunarlspitze counter-clockwise, you can treat yourself to some cooling or simply a quiet moment of relaxation after several hours of hiking. The water is easily accessible from all sides, so you can spread out well and find your own quiet spot. The stones in the shore area are quite sharp. Those who want to dip more than just their feet in the water might therefore consider packing a pair of light "beach/swim shoes". The water is typically cold for a mountain lake, even on very hot summer days. However, I saw an "hardened" person swimming in it for 2 minutes.

An alpine hut located directly on the hiking trail, just two kilometers from Schröcken, with a very friendly hostess. A very welcome first stop at the end of a round tour to the Braunarlspitze or Mohnenfluh. There are various drinks and small snacks such as bacon or cheese bread, Landjäger (sausage) or a whole snack platter. You have a beautiful view into the valley and the surrounding area. The various free-roaming animals, such as particularly peculiar-looking chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, were a special eye-catcher during the break.
