Hiking

Right at the end of the valley in Kleinarl they glitter in competition with each other - the turquoise-blue Jägersee and the legendary Tappenkarsee. One slumbers peacefully in the valley, the other requires you to climb a few meters in altitude before you can admire it in all its glory.…

Jägersee

Highlight • Lake

Even if you can only walk around the blue Jägersee, it is a wonderful destination on your MTB tour. You can park your bike at the Gasthaus Jägersee and explore the area on foot - or just enjoy the view.

Tappenkarsee Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

From Tappenkarsee, the water falls over many cascades down the steep rock and foams uphill along the narrow path.

Tappenkar Lake

Highlight • Lake

A wonderful excursion, highly recommended to everyone. After a somewhat strenuous climb on a well-maintained path, you can enjoy a wonderful panorama. There is also an alpine pasture and a hut, both serving food, very close to the lake.

Tappenkarsee Alpine Pasture

Highlight • Mountain Hut

First stop after the ascent to the Tappenkarsee. Wonderful view over the lake, in the direction of Weißgrubenkopf and the Tappenkarseehütte, which is a little further back on the plateau.

September 19, 2021,Von Sankt Johann im Pongau zu Jägersee.

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 …

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.

As soon as we reached the top, the sun showed itself at times. The snow gave the whole thing its own special charm. Unfortunately, the last half hour was in drizzle again.

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.

July 6, 2023,vom Jägersee zur Tarkappenseehütte und zurück

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). …

July 18, 2023,Zur Tappenkarseehütte

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 …

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.
