View of Lake Tappenkarsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

You should bring sturdy shoes 👟 and don't take a stroller or anything like that with you, as the paths are rocky and steep. Make sure you take a detour …

A wonderful excursion, highly recommended to everyone. After a somewhat strenuous climb on a well-maintained path, you can enjoy a wonderful panorama. There is also an alpine pasture and a hut, both serving food, very close to the lake.

Draugsteintörl

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At 2,077 meters above sea level, with lush green landscapes and mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, the Draugsteintörl pass is picture-perfect. Enjoy the view – you've more than earned it after the climb!

Highlight • Viewpoint

Up here, the shimmering Tappenkarsee lake and the surrounding mountains lie at your feet. A wonderful place to soak up the sun, take a break, and enjoy the view. Sometimes even in the company of a few friendly Haflinger horses.

First stop after the ascent to the Tappenkarsee. Wonderful view over the lake, in the direction of Weißgrubenkopf and the Tappenkarseehütte, which is a little further back on the plateau.

Ascent from the Schwabalm car park (from Jägersee toll road, fee 6 euros) to the Tappenkarseealm circular path Draugsteintörl (very steep) and then comfortably over to the Tappenkarseehütte - stop and cool off at the lake before the descent.

After yesterday's well-deserved day of rest, on which only a traditional round of mountain golf and otherwise chilling was announced, we wanted to put on our hiking boots again today.
