Grüne Lache

Highlight • Lake

The Lache is the smallest and also the highest of the three lakes, Vilsalpsee, Traualpsee and Lache. It gave the Lachenspitze its name and is located directly at its foot, below the Landsberger Hut.

The Landsberger Hut is a great rest stop on the Three Lakes Tour and on all other hikes above Lake Vilsalpsee. It's also a perfect base for further summit climbs. …

Traualp Lake

Highlight • Lake

A tough climb, not suitable for everyone. But you will be rewarded for it. The beautiful mountain lake offers a wonderful view before you set off on the last stretch to the Landsberger Hut.

June 9, 2023,Teil 1 von Tannheim zum Vilsalpsee weiter zur Traualpe und dann zur Landsberger Hütte

Today we set off on a tour with the aim of spending a night at the Landsberger Hütte. The start was again in Tannheim, from where it was relatively flat to the Vilsalpsee. After a short rest we headed towards Traualpsee and the Alpe. It only goes uphill to the alp and the lake, over rocks and a lot of …

May 18, 2023,Vom Vilsalpsee zur Landsberger Hütte

The actual destinations were the Schochenspitze and Sulzspitze. Unfortunately we underestimated the snow and therefore the ascent to the first summit was hardly possible. When we then saw that the summit was getting thick with thick clouds, we decided to turn around.
Nevertheless, the ascent to the Landsberger Hütte was very worthwhile, where there was also a delicious stop.

The plan was actually to spend the night at the Landsberger Hut, but shortly before the destination I unfortunately had to turn back for reasons of common sense.
The path from Vilsalpsee to Traualpsee is completely clear except for a few tiny patches of snow. From Traualpsee onwards, snowshoes are very helpful if you don't want to sink completely up …

We actually planned a roundtrip from the Vilsalpsee to the Schrecksee, but unfortunately there was still too much snow for our little furry friend to manage. Nevertheless, a wonderful hike with good friends in one of the most beautiful surroundings of Austria :) We will definitely revisit sometime in the summer to complete our tour!

DAV hiking f.d. Soul Day 3:
from Tannheim to Vilsalpsee and Obere Traualpe

Today we went from Tannheim to Vilsalpsee in 1 hour. Originally we wanted to take the bus, but after we were supposed to pay €4.00 per person for the few minutes bus ride, we were "Swabians", saved the money and walked.
From the Vilsalpsee, 5 of our …
