Very beautiful reflections in the water, but definitely plan for the midday sun, as the optimal photo won't look quite as good then ☺️

The lake isn't (!) ideal for swimming, even after a strenuous climb – pack plenty of drinking water! The lake has little to no natural inflow and is therefore very dirty. However, in calm conditions, it offers beautiful photo opportunities, for example, of the reflection of the Kalkkögel in the afternoon/evening sun.

A truly unique view of Innsbruck, the Inn Valley, the Zugspitze and Norkette ranges, the Patscherkofel, and more. It's especially lovely to share the meadow with cows and horses! Even after a strenuous climb, the lake isn't (!) ideal for swimming – pack plenty of drinking water! The lake has little or no natural inflow and is therefore very dirty.

Lots of cute farm animals, and a small fridge sells cheese and eggs from the farm, so having the right cash on you will be a joy :)

The climb shouldn't be underestimated, especially in warm weather, but the wild blueberries on the way up are always a little treat :) And the view from the top is well worth it! The forest area from Kemater Alm is a beautiful, enchanted forest with lots of moss and small streams.

If you're lucky, you'll see horses on the Salfeins.
