Hohe Tauern - die Nationalpark-Region in Kärnten Tourismus GmbH Verified partner
The Hohe Tauern offer at their eastern edge a mighty triad: in a row with the Hochalmspitze and the Ankogel stands boldly and beautifully shaped the Säuleck. The fact that this high destination offers no alpinistic difficulties may be surprising – and has earned the Säuleck the outdated mountain literature designation of "ladies' three-thousander." Since many women now keep up fully with men in all areas of alpinism, we can safely discard this term. However, pleasure-oriented mountain hikers of both sexes can look forward here to an absolute dream route. The water-rich Dösental, the azure blue mountain lake fed by a mysterious block glacier, and the magnificent view from the summit – into the distance and on the nearby mountain personalities; all this will challenge our senses to the highest degree and much will remain unforgettable.
