Aussee lake Self-guided Walking Tour

Imposing mountain scenery, impressive alpine landscapes and crystal-clear lakes – the Ausseerland is pure perfection. In addition, you can experience extraordinary customs, costume, music and dance.

Highlights:

  • Tauplitzalm: At approx. 5 km², this high plateau is the largest lake plateau in the northern Limestone Alps. Enjoy rugged karst landscapes with countless rare alpine plants and animals.
  • Lake paradise of Ausseerland: One cool body of water follows the last. Be sure to visit the Toplitzsee, it’s a real treasure!
  • Species-rich flora and fauna: Flower lovers get ready! A trip to the Totes Gebirge is worthwhile. The area is well known for its species-rich flowers.
