ブラームベルクアムワイルドコーゲルの湖・トップ20

Lake Torsee is idyllically nestled at an altitude of approximately 2,000 meters in the alpine landscape of the Kitzbühel Alps, not far from the "Tor" pass between the Tristkogel and Staffkogel peaks. Surrounded by gentle grassy slopes and rock formations, the small, clear mountain lake invites you to take a refreshing rest. Especially in summer, it's a tranquil, worthwhile stopover on a hike through the Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley.

Beautiful view, great panorama

Beautifully located mountain lake, surrounded by beautiful mountains.

Shepherds gave the small, triangular pond with a small, round island of cotton grass in its middle this name because of its appearance. Like the Salzbodensee below, it is dammed by moraines. An examination of the moor, which now only exists in remnants, provided important information for assessing post-glacial glacier and climate fluctuations. A remnant of pine wood embedded in the lowest layers of peat was dated to be around 10,000 years old. Between 7,700 and 9,000 years ago the moor was in a well-growing, closed forest. Due to a climatic setback 7,500 years ago, dead tree wood was stored in the moor, and peat growth has virtually stopped for 6,800 years. Nowadays the whole area is forest-free. Silting processes have caused the Eye of God to continue to grow over the last few years.

Such a beautiful mountain lake. You can see it from further up

If the weather is nice, start early when it is still pretty quiet.
