Two Lakes

As the name implies - two lakes in the middle of a barren high mountain landscape. The lakes are from the last ice age and lie in a hollow between Grubachkogel and Schwarzenstein.

Beautiful circular hike in a magnificent landscape and with a wonderful view.
Partly challenging and surefootedness is a must. The climb to the Hochtriesten in particular is steep and somewhat exposed.

The tour is great in the fall. Just think of enough water. All fountains are already switched off and the restaurants are closed (at least on public holidays). It was very dry and there was hardly any water in the streams
