Trail to Duisitzkarsee (Path 775)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The hiking trail 775 to the Duisitzkarsee is exhausting, but very nice panorama

2.60 km

The Duisitzkarseehütte is located in the Obertal and on the idyllic Duisitzkarsee, not far from the Styrian town of Schladming/Unterrohr. The rustic hut was already used as accommodation for miners around the year 1300.

Today it is particularly suitable as a starting point or destination for various hikes or for relaxing in nature. The classic ascent to the Duisitzkarseehütte alone leads through a dreamlike and untouched landscape.

Other popular and recommended hiking tours are the Obertaler Almenrunde, the Bergseeweg from the Ursprungalm to the Duisitzkarsee or the circular hike from the Neualm to the Duisitzkarsee.

Duisitzkar Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Duisitzkarsee in the same named Kar in the Obertal is probably one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the Schladminger Tauern and relatively easy to reach.

Duisitzkarsee and Eschachalm

Highlight • Lake

The Duisitzkarseehütte is in a fantastic location, with excellent opportunities to stay longer. The alpine huts are great. The path is steep, but very doable.

June 7, 2023,Duisitzkarsee – Eschachalm Runde von Maistatt

Very nice hike... hiking trail was quite steep uphill... down over forest path

Today a little lap, as we are considerate of an annoying heel spur. Mountain lake and good weather mean a lot of people. Fortunately, not everyone dares to take the steep but very varied hiking trail (and take the forest road). There is also a lot going on upstairs, but it somehow dissipates. The lake and the two huts there …

September 10, 2022,🇦🇹 von der Eschachalm zum Duisitzkarsee/Fahrlechhütte

The starting point of our hike is the Eschachalm in Obertal. We take the hiking trail, later the forest trail in the direction of Lake Duisitzkarsee. The hiking trail requires sure-footedness; Roots, stones and steep passages have it all.
The eye of the beholder is certainly divided: while we didn't even manage the one climb, we were lapped twice by …

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

This morning we started a little later than usual, so we were only at our starting point, the Eschachalm, at around 10:00 a.m. (Like about 100 other hikers who have found their way into this great landscape.

€ 6 for parking (€ 4 with Schladming card included) can comfortably drive the way to the Eschachalm by car. From there it …

August 4, 2021,Eschachalm zum Duitzkaartsee und zurück

A guided family hike took us today from the Eschachalm to the Duitskartsee. Since we had already completed about 370 meters in altitude on the first 2km, everyone can decide for themselves whether it is something for children. The lake is supposed to be very nice, but the weather played a trick on us (7 degrees and fog). Made sausages …

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 …
