Schladminger Tauern Lakes

The Schladminger Tauern's high valleys are extraordinarily rich in lakes, such as the Giglachseen near Schladming, the Riesachsee (1,333m/4,374ft) on the way to the Preintaler Hütte, the beautiful lakes near Aich in the Seewig valley, the Bodensee and Hüttensee, and the lonely Schwarzensee near Kleinsölk. Somewhat unusually, the lakes are particularly numerous in the high corries south of the Preintaler Hütte.
