The hike through the Burggrabenklamm is a wonderful natural experience. However, surefootedness and a head for heights are prerequisites.

View of Lake Schwarzensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can only cycle half of the Schwarzensee, some of it private and closed to bicycles. Unfortunately, the entire circuit cannot be planned in Komoot

The Schwarzensee is 716 meters high and is a perfect destination for a hike. Sit on the banks of the picturesque mountain lake and let the sun shine in your face. There are several alpine pastures around the lake. If you want to go around the lake, just follow the almost four kilometer circular route.

Schwarzensee Circular Trail

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful and easy circular hike.
There is a paid parking lot right by the lake (car €3.- / day)
The nicer path runs along the left bank, i.e. if you go anti-clockwise from the parking lot. On the other side, the route goes mostly on asphalt and with not so much direct "contact" with the lake back to the starting point.

Schwarzensee (Black Lake)

Highlight • Lake

A nice destination for a short 4 km round or the larger with 10 km. Two nice restaurants right on the lake. In summer, there are also Kuschfahrten around the lake.

Dear @Silbersöckchen and @Waldläufer we are supposed to send you our kind regards from the roaring stag 🦌. It traversed loudly over our path above the Schwarzensee 🤗
Parked at the paid parking lot for 3€ per car right by the lake. The lake circular path is a smooth, easy hiking trail with a few places to stop for refreshments …

We drive less than half an hour by car from Sankt Gilgen to Schwarzsee. There is a large parking lot here from which we start our hike. We walk along the eastern side of the lake towards Moosalm. The path is flat and designed for tourism. That's why there are far too many annoying cyclists on the road here. The …

The first weekend in October shines with dream weather. So get into your hiking boots. Parked at the canyoning Burggrabenklamm parking lot (€ 4 / day) and then scrambled up the Valerieweg along the Burggrabenklamm. At the junction, turn right onto Ackerweg and continue to Unterackeralm. Do not continue straight on here, but turn left onto the Gretlsteig towards Klausbach. …
