Tauplitz, Styria

The 6-Lakes-Hike is a fantastic hike to mountain lakes and huts in one of the most beautiful Alm (mountain pasture) areas in Europe. At the beginning of the hike, you come to Krallersee, a dark shimmering moor lake, which lies at the foot of the Lawinenstein. The path continues to Großsee below the Schneiderkogel and to the romantic Märchensee. On the way to the east, you hike to Tauplitzsee. Shortly before the Steirersee, a detour to the "Steirerseebankerl" is recommended. Here, the magnificent view of the Sturzhahn and the blue-green shimmering Steirersee is very impressive. The Sturzhahn was once Heinrich Harrer's climbing mountain. After a short rest, the path continues, past the Steirerseehütten towards Steirersee, which you can hike along on the south or north shore (sure-footedness required!). The last lake is the Schwarzensee, which despite its name is not black at all. The return to the starting point from the Steirersee is via meadow paths or the asphalted road on the high plateau. The entire tour does not have to be hiked. You have the option to shorten the hike at any time. Pram and wheelchair users: Due to the asphalted and gravel plateau road, short hikes on the Tauplitzalm are also suitable for prams and wheelchair users!
