Zillergründl Reservoir Dam

Highlight • Monument

You should only enter the dam wall if you have a head for heights. The hike to the Alm (small Tibet) is worth it. There is a lot to discover like plants or animals

Zillergrund Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

A rock tunnel, well lit and not that long

Waterfalls at Zillergründl Reservoir

Highlight • Waterfall

The waterfall is just after the tunnel. The path along the lake is wide and very easy to walk on.

Path of Reflection at Speichersee (Klein Tibet)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Little Tibet is a magical place that can hardly be put into words, nor can its beauty be captured or described in pictures!
Unfortunately, I couldn't mark the entire trail properly!

On the idyllic alpine meadows above the reservoir, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the glittering water and the natural mountain slopes down to the head of the valley. A terrific vantage point.

Staumauerblick

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are many places to rest along the reservoir in the direction of the Klein Tibet Hütte. Benches with creative names. I don't find the names funny. Rather fitting.

September 7, 2022,Wanderung Klein Tibet von Staudamm

From Bärenboden to the dam by bus for 5.40 euros. Alternatively, you can also hike up this section (approx. 450 meters in altitude).
The route is also doable with a pram if you are in good shape.

Many of you surely know the tour, you have to do it at least once, even if it is easy. Fantastic panorama in glorious weather, more is not possible. With 35 degrees in the valley it was easy to bear it up here. Recommendation for the journey, definitely take public transport, e.g. from Mayrhofen by bus, or park the car …

The climb from the Bärenbad-Alm is very steep. Good footwear is important. However, there is also a bus that runs from the hiking car park to the dam.

A stop in Little Tibet is wonderful. Small snack menu, homemade cake and egg liqueur.

Small hike to little Tibet. First through the tunnel and then always along the lake. Beginning in the fog and on the track it became wonderfully clear and sunny.

Due to the weather, a cozy round 🌞🥵.
By bus to the barrier wall in the Zillergrund. From here we go through the tunnel in the direction of Little Tibet with the Hohenaualm. After briefly considering climbing up to the Plauener Hütte, we stick to the walking path to the end of the reservoir. After a short break, we go …

August 5, 2022,Tag 5: Zillergrund - Hohenaualm "Klein Tibet"

On day 5, the weather forecast announced a thunderstorm around noon. So we decided not to go up a mountain. Our destination was Klein Tibet im Zillergrund. We took the bus to Mayrhofen and from there to the Zillergrund dam, where we started the hike. Great trail that is easily walkable and not that strenuous. Great panorama overlooking the reservoir. …
