Niedere Tauern from ascent to Seekarspitze, view to ENE east-northeast. The mountains along the horizon have an altitude of about 2500 to 2800 müA and are part of the wonderful "Schladminger Tauern".

Early HFF and a happy weekend everybody ;-) I'm away for about 9 days, so I will most probably not visiting Ipernity. Have a good time and stay safe ;-)

behind the lake (1778 m) is the dark granite south face of Schöneck (2540 m) Schladminger Tauern / Niedere Tauern, Salzburg / Austria

The "Middle Landschitz Lake" (Mittlerer Landschitzsee) at an elevation of 1973 m is one of the three Landschitz lakes. The Landschitz creek is a tributary to the Lessach creek.

The view from this wonderful place (about 2000 m) in the Landschitz valley leads to the highest peak of the "Niedere Tauern". You see the east face of Hochgolling, 2862 m, to the left the south ridge and the Trumörtenscharte (2442 m), a wonderful steep spring tour with snow gliders.

Greifenstein - 2397 m, there are many lakes in the Klaffernkessel in Styria/Austria, inviting for a cold bath ;-)

The very lonesome Waldhorn peak in the "Niedere Tauern" range, the Kapuzinersee under the summit.

Niedere Tauern, Klaffernkessel - Styria / Austria, 25.08.1991 View from Greifenberg (2618 m) over the Lungauer Klaffersee (2197 m) to the steep dark west wall of Deichselspitze (2684 m) in the background, where the summit unfortunately was cut by this bad photographer ;-)

The south flank of Kasereck (2740m) above the Piendlsee.

The The "Lower Tauern" or "Niedere Tauern" are a mountain range of the Central Eastern Alps, in the Austrian states of Salzburg and Styria. The highest (higher than 2700 m) peaks are: 1. Hochgolling 2862 m 2. Hochwildstelle 2747 m 3. Roteck 2742 4. Kasereck 2740 m 5. Preber 2740 m 6. Große Barbaraspitze 2726 m 7. Weißeck 2711 m 8. Waldhorn 2702 m I visited all except the Kasereck, where I made three attempts and failed three times. All summits are part of the "Schladminger Tauern", only the "Weißeck" is situated in the "Radstädter Tauern". No. 3 and 5 are in the centre of this image, taken from Kasereck east ridge. The small lake down there has no name, but I call it "Arling Lake" because of the name "Arling" of the cirque. - scanned slide

The third attempt in September 1997 to reach the summit. About one hour later we had to stop and go back. It was too late. - scanned slide

I tried to climb on this wonderful peak three times, and what a shame, I failed three times. The first time a heavy thunderstorm forced us to go back (East ridge), the second time we lost the route and it became too difficult (Southwest Wall) and the third time we were pretty high on the East Ridge, but it became late because we lost the way partly and again we had to go back. So I always have mixed feelings, looking at this mountain. This view shows the east side, seen from the Landschitz valley. Right of the Kasereck is the "Kaserscharte" (2315 m), which is a nice ski or snow glider tour in late spring.

I'm back from 6 days in the "Niedere Tauern" in Salzburg and Styria. The Hundstein is a peak in the southern part of "Schladminger Tauern", which are the highest part of the "Niedere Tauern". These mountains were always my favorite area for hiking, ski and firn glider tours. I made this peak on 11.09.1985 (solo), but you can still be sure to be alone on this very remote mountain. The peak left of the Hundstein is the Mitterspitzen (2503 m). I added 2 scanned slides in the PiP's from 1985. It's a funny story, I reached the peak in loneliness, I met nobody the whole day. Suddenly a helicopter came and dropped 2 surveyors on the peak ;-) The 2nd PiP is a view from the peak to the north (Mitterspitzen, 2503 and Blutspitze, 2626 m), in the far background the "Hoher Dachstein".
