Short taxi transfer from Bad Goisern to the hiking paradise Predigstuhl. You walk past rustic cabins, alpine pastures and impressive summits into the heart of the Ausseerland. The alpine pasture Hütteneckalm with stunning views on UNESCO heritage region ‘Hallstatt Dachstein’ is only one place to invite you for a break, together with the unique Blaa-alp. You will then walk to the wonderful village Altaussee where you be staying overnight. Numerous artists spend their summer here and enjoy the charming landscape with its limestone rocks, wide forests and flower fields.
Hotel example: Gasthof zum Hirschen
You will start your day’s walk by going along the length of lake Altaussee with a view of the imposing Loser mountain. You will then head to the next lake of the day by crossing the Tressen saddle – of course you will have endless mountainous panoramic views on your way. You will then reach Gößl by lake Grundlsee by walking along a path with great views all round. Don’t miss out on visiting the mystical lake Toplitzsee, where there is thought to be treasure hidden. Or go for a row with a traditional wooden boat.
Hotel example: Mondi-Holiday Seeblickhotel Grundlsee
The route takes you along a fast-flowing mountain stream and through extensive alluvial areas out of the valley to Ödernalm, which is the nicest spot on the planet according to Heinrich Harrer. After one last ascent over the Törl you will arrive at the charming, almost magical lake. Soon afterwards you will arrive at the Tauplitzalm, which is located on a high plateau.
Hotel example: Kirchenwirt
The Tauplitzalm is one of Europe’s loveliest high plateaus and has a lot of opportunities for walking. The 6 lakes walk takes you on a route with great views and to wonderfully located mountain lakes. A walk to one of the many peaks in the Tote Gebirge mountain range is a very special experience. The area is well-known for its large variety of fauna and flora ranging from the snow roses to gentian to alpine rose flowers. Maybe you will also spot some chamoises, which are native to the steep mountain slopes.
Hotel example: Kirchenwirt
Over the Hochalm you walk past the lake Steirersee to the lake Schwarzensee, which lies tucked away among high mountains. Downstream through the forest und through blooming narcissus fields you walk to Tauplitz. By train back to Bad Goisern.
