In the Niedere Tauern, in the south of the Salzburg region, we find the Wagrain-Kleinarl area. The mountain backdrop around the Tauern village consists of gentle grassy mountains, rugged peaks, crystal-clear mountain lakes, and lush alpine pastures. Surrounded by steep rock walls on the east and gentle grassy mountains on the west side, the Tappenkarsee lies high above Kleinarl at an elevation of 1,768 meters.
