Two lakes hike: Jägersee and Tappenkarsee

We were very lucky again today, we had just got back on our feet when it rained very hard. Still 3 km to go to the car in the rain, we met very sweet Austrians who took us to the car 🤗 We were so happy 🥰

For today I chose something calmer, because my feet hurt a bit 🙈 and it was still very thundery in the morning... And since I like mountain lakes anyway, I spontaneously put this tour together 🤗 I really liked it too and both lakes are beautifully embedded in a fantastic setting 🤩 the Tappenkarsee in particular is a force that really impressed me 🤗

The Tappenkarsee is a mountain lake in Salzburg in the Radstädter Tauern mountains at approximately 1,762 meters above sea level. We had to climb about 700 meters before the wonderful panorama of the idyllic lake and the surrounding snow-capped mountains opened up. It couldn't be more beautiful. Two huts are open in summer: the Tappenkarsee Alm and the Tappenkarseehütte, located a little higher at the end of the lake, where we stopped for a snack (porcini mushroom soup with sausages). The hike starts at the Jägersee, also idyllically and beautifully situated and exceptionally easy to reach by bus. Cars can shorten the approach somewhat by using a toll road. As we were on the bus, Walter noticed that I didn't have my hiking poles with me. I got off at the Tauernhof and took the bus back shortly after, with the hiking poles still lying on the chair. Then, at 5:05 PM, I took the bus back to St. Johann. My hiking friends were waiting for me there.

We hiked from Jägersee to the Tappenkarseehütte. A very beautiful hike. Unfortunately my cell phone battery didn't last, so the whole way back wasn't recorded.

Super hike through impressive landscape with great views of the waterfall. Which is fed by the Tappenkarsee - right at the top, as a reward for a long climb, the lake is fantastic in a wonderful landscape. Must see! The tour can also start from the Tappenkarsee car park, then via a piece of the toll road (€6, summer 2023). Tour then about 6km shorter

Today's destination was the Tappenkarseehütte. The plan was to drive past the Jägersee to the Schwabalm and from there uphill. After yesterday's storm there was a mudflow and so we had to walk from Jägersee 🤪🫣 Okay, one thing in advance....we managed the additional distance in just 45 minutes...given 1.5 hours 🤣 the ascent was like always exhausting, but the view over the lake when we got to the top makes up for any torture 🤣 the way to the back hut was child's play. Rewarded with a cyclist, a Bretteljause and liver dumpling and goulash soup, we made our way back after a pleasant break. For the last 4km, a thunderstorm over the mountains drove us to a storm step. Dry in the car and enjoyed a very nice tour!

From Jägersee to Tappenkarsee ..... Over 700 meters high, then swim (simply brilliant) and then down again. My daughter (14), my son (4), Jana and Jens were there.

"I started at the Jägersee car park, but forgot to turn on the recording🤷🏻‍♀️" - from there it is about a 50-minute walk to the ascent to the Tappenkarsee - but there is also a car park there, which can be reached via a toll road (6, -€), which is also the hiking trail at the same time, can be reached from Jägersee. Information about this and my experience show that the toll booth is only manned until around 2 p.m.
