Although the Twenger Almsee is at 2120m, it is currently (August 2023) so warm that people enjoy swimming inside - as well as in the nearby Schönalmsee.

We met a surveyor from the Salzburg monument authority at work and he explained to us very nicely and interestingly that an old road from Roman times went over the mountains here. Unfortunately, part of the road has already been destroyed by work on the forest path, but the upper area is still largely intact.

At Tweng, a beautiful, wooden arch construction leads over the southern Taurach. A really secluded, quiet place.
