The Duisitzkarsee is a cirque lake in the Schladminger Tauern in Styria. Due to its idyllic location, it is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in Styria. With more sun, we might have been able to see it that way too.

Hello folks

Some information about this beautiful mountain hike.
We went on a mountain hike to Dusitzkarsee along the forest road.
In my opinion, this route can be managed by anyone.

Further information:
Short description
Forest roads and a steeper hiking trail lead you to the lake

A hike to the Duisitzkarsee. We started at the Eschachalm car park on Obertalstrasse. It costs 7 euros, but this shortens the distance significantly. At first we avoided the hiking trail, but later swung onto it.
At the lake it is simply idyllic. Free running horses, the cows are rather lazy. The western part of the circuit is not so …

The GPS must have lost interest at some point, because I can't remember running back and forth and criss-crossing so wildly 😆🤷🏼‍♀️

As the last big hike for this week, the longest and most strenuous tour with the most HM.
From the Eschachalm car park (€ 4) up to the Duisitzkarsee.
Demanding path (with child), above a jewel that is looking for its equal
