Erlauf Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

This time we had a couple of heavy rainy days beforehand so the reservoir was quite full of water - a beautiful sight.

When the snow melts in spring, a beautiful waterfall appears in the Ötschergräben valley, and the red and yellow gentian and lilies also bloom here in abundance. And not far away is the fine snack bar: the Ötscherhias. ;-)

Großer Ötscher Summit

Highlight • Summit

Climbing over the Rauhen Kamm is exhausting and not advisable in damp weather, some places are very slippery. If it is very warm, please take enough to drink, there are no water points on the way. Those who have more time should visit the Ötschergraben on another day, a bath there is then the absolute.

Weather Tree sculpture on the Ötscher

Highlight • Monument

From a distance, and even when you get closer, this work of art looks like a real tree that has been weathered. Really great!

Schleierfall Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

In the spring with the snowmelt a very beautiful waterfall and the yellow and red Petergstamm and the gentian very worth seeing.

Ötscherhias Snack Station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the totally natural Ötschergräben there is this small but extremely fine refreshment point. You have to go there, the Ötschergräben are definitely worth a hike. But please take your rubbish home with you in your backpack, this year I already carried two backpacks with plastic bottles out of the trenches. It really doesn't have to be that everything is thrown down. ;-)

Watermill on the Mühlbach

Highlight • Monument

200 years ago a mill stood here - this one was built in 2001 - nevertheless it fits here.
