This wonderful walk is for everybody. The ascent is
very little.
Starting point is Lake Gosau. A small way is leading from Lake Gosau
to the Upper Lake. At the end of Lake Gosau is slightly rising and
in 10 minutes we are coming to
Holzmeisteralm (973 m). About 10 min we walk now along "Gosaulacke",
which is 5 to 6 m deep. After heavy rains this lake extends to Holzmeisteralm.
In hot summers Gosaulacke is very small and hiden behind trees.
Now it is getting a little bit steeper. Passing a waterfall the small
roadway is taking us higher. After a very steep part the way is flat
right after a turn near small rock wall. Below is turn you can hear
a waterfall, but only after heavy rain falls an in springtime when
the snow is melting. Most times the river that leaves the Upper Lake
is dry.
From here it is not far and in 10 minutes we reach the Upper Lake.
The Upper Lake is lying 1160 m above sealevel. It is 900 m long, 500
m wide and its depth is between 36 and 43 m, depending on the season.
Like mentioned before water is running out of the lake just when we
have high water. On the southern end of te lake there is an alp called
Hintere Seealm. In summer here you meet the cows. If it is very hot
the cows are standing in the water to cool down.
Going further on to Adamekhütte you still have 6,4 km to go and
1000 m to climb up. (2 ½ - 3 ½ Std.). Another possibilty
is to go further on to Hallstatt which takes about 5 hours. |
