Trail Reviews
Very nice round with wonderful views of the Dachstein and the Bischhofsmütze
A very nice round but also very demanding. Fantastic view and the battery died again.
A beautiful panoramic circuit with many impressive views of Filzmoos, the Bischofsmütze, Rossbrand, etc. The black Lacke (small moor lake) is also rightly considered a place of power.
In rainy weather, a short round from Filzmoos to the "Schwarze Lacke". The alpine pastures were closed, seems to be built more for winter use.
Beautiful tour to the Schwarzen Lacke, a moor lake in the raised moor there. On the way you pass the Kleinalm and Schwaigalm, where it is worth taking a break. If only for the view from there.
No need to clear out your suitcase after arrival. Instead, we used the nice weather and started a small, easy tour to get used to it. The area is beautiful. We are looking forward to four beautiful hiking days and hope that the weather will cooperate.
Black lakes are stagnant, dark bodies of water in the mountains, often in a boggy area. A week ago I saw a sign to a black paint in Filzmoos and took that as the reason for today's hike. There is also a legend about lacquer, and it is called a power place. Not so far away there are other, better-known Lacken on a mountain that I have never climbed. Also in Lana (South Tyrol) there is said to be a black paint on a mountain. Today's lap was unspectacular from the way, unfortunately almost everything on forest roads, but the view of the Bischofsmütze and the mountains of the Gosaukamm was always spectacular. At the beginning I followed the signs of the ladder to heaven, on which the fate of the evicted Salzburg Protestants is dealt with. There was a stop today at the Schwaigalm, with a huge pot of mushroom soup and then lavish blackberry dumplings. You can tell that the hiking season is over, I sat all alone on the nice terrace. Much is already being prepared for the winter season. Filzmoos is also a small, fine ski area.
