Herzsee (Heart Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Invites you to take a little rest. The water has great colors. Even if it is a landscaped reservoir, it is very beautiful.

Varied hike along the Schwarzwasserbach. Between Melköd-Alm and Schwarzwasserhütte partly moderately difficult. Beautiful alpine pastures

July 5, 2024,Schwarzwasserhütte 🇦🇹 von Hirschegg

When you get a visit from a friend who is as lovely as she is fond of mountains, you obviously have to go on a mountain tour. We were lucky and the Schwarwasserhütte still had 2 beds available in a 2-bed room. So off we went and after breathtaking cotton grass meadows, dotted with tons of spotted orchid and much …

October 6, 2024,Schwarzwasser Hütte, durch's Tal der 1000 🍄 Fliegenpilze 🍄🍄🍄

.......okay, there weren't quite 1000 fly agarics, but all the photos of the 🍄 were taken right on the side of the path.

We had actually planned today's tour as a snowshoe tour in the winter, but it never happened.

May 29, 2024,Schwarzwassertal- Schwarzwasserhütte

Today's tour was initially planned a little differently: From the valley station of the Ifenbahn, we first want to climb over the lower and upper Walmedinger Alp to 1900 meters above sea level to the Walmendinger Horn and from there hike along the high trail to the Muttelbergkopf, to the Ochsenhoferköpfen and finally to the Ochsenhofer Scharte. From there we …

October 7, 2024,P Hoher Ifen, Alpe Melköde, Schwarzwasserhütte 🇦🇹 , 7.10.24

It was a great autumn hike. It was actually still raining a little at the Hoher Ifen car park (5 € day ticket).
There were lots of beautiful fly agarics, some of them huge (average size over 20 cm). The Alpe Melköde and the Schwarwasserhütte are closing soon.
At the end I enjoyed the sun for a while at the …

May 6, 2025,Von der Auenhütte über die Melköde zur Schwarzwasserhütte – Kleinwalsertal

There is a large parking lot at the Auenhütte - day ticket 5 euros (as of May 2025) cash and card payments are accepted. A wide and mostly flat gravel path leads from the Auenhütte to the Melköde Alp. The path is wide and very easy to walk on, and also suitable for strollers and bicycles. You repeatedly walk along …
