Tappenkarseealm: one of the most scenic hiking destinations in the Salzburg mountains
The Tappenkarseealm is located at 1,768 m at the largest mountain lake in the Eastern Alps, the Tappenkarsee. The location on the Tappenkarsee is unique.

The Alm is located directly on the Tappenkarsee, the largest mountain lake in the Niedere Tauern. Both the Tappenkarsee and the Alm are very popular hiking destinations in the Radstädter Tauern. The lake, which may be called the largest mountain lake in the Niedere Tauern, can be reached the quickest from the Kleinarltal. The starting point is the Schwabalm south of the Jägersee. The hiking car park can be reached from Jägersee via a toll road. From there we are separated by a 1 ¾ hour walk from the Alm.

Opening times
