Detaily pro: From Lake Erlauf via the Brach to the Gemeindealpe
Krátký popis
Beautiful summit hike from Lake Erlauf via the Erlaufursprung and the Halterhütte Brach to the summit of the Gemeindealpe.
Popis
This beautiful, challenging summit hike starts at the turquoise-green Erlaufsee on the Lower Austrian side of the lake. The trail leads past the Lindenhof farm and along a forest path to the Erlauf spring - where moss-covered stones and a gorge forest exude fairytale charm.
Following the trail further, after a challenging ascent, you reach the Brunnsteinalm and, via a forest road, the Brachalm. Here you will be impressed by a unique view of the Ötscher!
There is one last steep climb to master before you get a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains from the summit of the Gemeindealpe.
