The path is not very nice, you walk almost only over stones but the view of the peaks of the Tauern is fantastic

July 25, 2022,🇦🇹 Dem Schödersee auf den Grund gegangen - Wanderung ab Hüttschlag

Since thunderstorms and rain were announced for the afternoon, it shouldn't go that far and that high today.

On the recommendation of the hiking seniors, we went to their Austrian vacation home, the Großarltal, and from there to the end of the valley in Hüttschlag.

A wonderful route to the Schödersee in the Grossarltal....maybe it took a little longer, but with two children you have to take a break every now and then. Sure-footedness is a real advantage in some places...especially when the paths were flooded in places, as was the case with us.

September 11, 2024,Zum Schödersee u Ötzlsee und zurück

Sun 🌞 so we used this day to hike around the lakes.
Özlsee water was clear, enough fish 🐟 swam past, then we continued on to Schödersee, the climb was very rocky so it was better to take the hiking poles in hand ✋️ as it was getting increasingly smooth and slippery. Fabulous where the cattle run around over hill …

Lake Schödersee is not a permanent lake; it is only periodic. It dries out completely in summer.

Something chilled today...unfortunately not enough of a view for my taste. But pure nature...

August 22, 2024,Schödertal, immer wieder gerne 🥾🥾🥾🥾🏔

A hike to the Schödertal with its periodic lake is one of the most beautiful hikes. In the national park, nature can unfold and people remain visitors.
And when the lake has water, the eye is pleased...
