Seekarlscharte

Water in all its variations is the constant companion on this transgression. Natural meanders at the Bräualm, Dürrmooswasserfall, Hohensee, Schwarzensee and Grünsee during the ascent to the Seekarlscharte. On the Seekarlscharte the view to the turquoise Seekarlsee is clear - Caribbean feeling guaranteed.

Dear hikers, enjoy the uniqueness of this landscape and please take care of it! Please bring your garbage back into the valley. No pollution in the lake. Please do not go into the water and bathe! Otherwise, the lake bottom will be clearly dark discoloured as a result of turbulence. Thanks to your common sense, the uniqueness and beauty will be preserved for everyone. Thank you very much! The Nature Park Team and the Alm Community

From the Gamsjäger Inn (valley bus stop) in St. Nikolai, follow path 702 along the natural meanders at the Bräualm, past the Dürrmooswasserfall to Hohensee. Here path 790 branches off to the right in the direction of Seekarlscharte. A steep step leads to a small plateau with the Schwarzensee (not to be confused with the Schwarzensee in the Kleinsölker Obertal). A little off the beaten track, the Grünsee emerges. In Melk the terrain becomes steeper again, over stony terrain it goes towards Seekarlscharte. At the last meters to the saddle, sure-footedness is required. On the Seekarlscharte (2.302m) the highest point of the tour is reached and the view to the turquoise Seekarlsee becomes clear.

Soon the Seekarlsee is reached. The extreme turquoise colour of the lake conveys a Caribbean feeling at 2,140m above sea level. After the Seekarlsee it goes over Almwiesen downhill. From 1.900m above sea level the terrain becomes steeper. In serpentines it goes to the Tuchmoaralm (1.509m). The Köck hut and the Blasenalm invite you to stop for a bite to eat.

From the Tuchmoaralm the trail 790 follows the forest road to the car park and to the valley bus stop at the barrier near the road into the Strieglertal (Kleinsölker Untertal).
