Dairy cows spent the summer only at Almschachten.
The Almschachten, at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea Level, is located east of the Trinkwassertalsperre Frauenau and also called Frauenauer Alm. Around 1900, this woodland pasture was the only one that was used as a meadow. This means that dairy cows spent the summer here, unlike at the other clearings: only oxen or one-year-old cattle were brought up there. From the upper part of the Almschachten, you have a magnificent view towards Zwieseler Winkel and up to the Arber.
