Lakeside Meadow at Durlaßboden Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

A beautiful reservoir that is used to generate electricity, but is still extremely pretty to look at. The hiking trail around the lake can be walked at any time of the year. Pedal boating and sailing is also possible here.

The weather was a bit unstable, but it held up 🙃
Nice little loop, and apart from the paved section on the east bank, it was a really good run (even if you're not athletic but a good walker).

Today was supposed to be relaxed, so the choice fell on the loop around the Durlaßboden reservoir. So up and first by car 🚗. The parking lot is free and offers, at least during the week, enough space.
Now we went up the stairs and the pulse was immediately...😅. At the top, then first disappointment. Construction work on the dam …

September 6, 2024,Gerlos: Um den Durlaßbodenspeicher zur Finkau im Wildgerlostal

Once around the reservoir and into the Wildgerlostal to Finkau - a highly recommended tour that is worth repeating.
Two years ago we also went past the waterfalls up to the Trisslalm. This year it was a slightly shorter but no less beautiful tour and we made up for the stops at Finkau and Bärschlagalm!

Danger! The cows at the back of the Alpengasthof Finkau are very aggressive and will attack, especially if you walk through with a dog.

Today we were in Titol at the dam in Gerlos, all the way around.

We actually wanted to do more, but unfortunately my wife twisted her ankle at about 7 km, her ankle became very swollen and painful, so we "only" did the dam loop. But the last 4 km were extremely hard and painful for my wife.

Very nice round. Unfortunately you have to walk about 4km on the road and depending on the season it can be very busy. September is highly recommended

Since this easy hike starts very nicely, we took it under our feet today.
If we had known that 3 km of asphalt road with car traffic would soon follow, we would have turned back. It is better to just walk the beginning (or the end) until the road begins and then turn back.

July 31, 2023,Gerlos (Tirol), Durlassboden Stausee, rondom het stuwmeer

Today I made a circular walk around the reservoir of Gerlos (Tyrol) at an altitude of 1405m. It was mainly a nature walk with lots of flowers, plants, mushrooms, cows 😀 and beautiful views of the mountains and the lake... some plants I didn't know and I tried to look them up, but I might find them here made mistakes …
