The path is not very nice, you walk almost only over stones but the view of the peaks of the Tauern is fantastic

A wonderful route to the Schödersee in the Grossarltal....maybe it took a little longer, but with two children you have to take a break every now and then. Sure-footedness is a real advantage in some places...especially when the paths were flooded in places, as was the case with us.

July 25, 2022,🇦🇹 Dem Schödersee auf den Grund gegangen - Wanderung ab Hüttschlag

Since thunderstorms and rain were announced for the afternoon, it shouldn't go that far and that high today.

On the recommendation of the hiking seniors, we went to their Austrian vacation home, the Großarltal, and from there to the end of the valley in Hüttschlag.

Sun 🌞 so we used this day to hike around the lakes.
Özlsee water was clear, enough fish 🐟 swam past, then we continued on to Schödersee, the climb was very rocky so it was better to take the hiking poles in hand ✋️ as it was getting increasingly smooth and slippery. Fabulous where the cattle run around over hill …

Hiking at the head of the Grossarl Valley. From the parking lot at the Talwirt we went on a supply road to the Ötzlsee. From there continue on beautiful paths always uphill to Schödersee. There wasn't much to see, since there was little water at the time. But here the path is the goal.
On the way back, a small …
