A very nice round but also very demanding. Fantastic view and the battery died again.

A beautiful panoramic circuit with many impressive views of Filzmoos, the Bischofsmütze, Rossbrand, etc. The black Lacke (small moor lake) is also rightly considered a place of power.

In rainy weather, a short round from Filzmoos to the "Schwarze Lacke". The alpine pastures were closed, seems to be built more for winter use.

Beautiful tour to the Schwarzen Lacke, a moor lake in the raised moor there. On the way you pass the Kleinalm and Schwaigalm, where it is worth taking a break. If only for the view from there.

No need to clear out your suitcase after arrival. Instead, we used the nice weather and started a small, easy tour to get used to it. The area is beautiful. We are looking forward to four beautiful hiking days and hope that the weather will cooperate.
