Round tour Neualm - Duisitzkarsee Lake

Closed
The round tour to Duisitzkarsee Lake via Neualm is a very scenic hike in the valley head of the Obertal in Rohrmoos. Start and finishing point is Eschachalm (1,211 m).

From Eschachalm to Neualm and from Duisitzkar it is possible to also walk along a logging road instead of a classic hiking trail. All other parts of the tour are classic hiking trails with tree roots and forest floor.

Duisitzkarsee Lake is a picturesque mountain lake framed by an impressive mountain panorama from South-East to West to North. In the warm summer months of July and August the lake often is warm enough to go for a swim. Be considerate of the fish in the lake and avoid, for example, stirring up dust. In addition, please do not go into the water with sunscreen, as this can upset the sensitive ecology of the lake.

Directly at the lake the Duisitzkarseehütte and the Fahrlechhütte invite you to grab a drink and a snachk. At the hiking trail head Eschachalm there is another option for a rest - Eschachhütt'n.

More information

Exit from federal highway B320 in Schladming and continue towards Rohrmoos. You ascend from Schladming to Rohrmoos and at the roundabout in Rohrmoos take the 3rd exit towards Obertal and Untertal. You descend into the small village of Untertal and at the end of the village turn off right in to Obertal valley. You continue on the paved road until Hopfriesen from where a gravel road takes you to the trail head Eschachalm for the last 2 km.

Starting point for the tour is at the hiking trail head Eschachalm in the Obertal valley (1,211 m). Either on a logging road or along a hiking trail you start your tour towards Neualm and Keinprechthütte. The trail ascends steadily but not very steep to Neualm (1,618 m), which takes about 1 1/2 hours.

After a short break at the Obertalbach creek you turn-off right and head out of the valley again towards Duisitzkarsee Lake. The trail between Neualm and Duisitzkar demands shurefootedness due to the many tree roots crossing the trail as well as some steeper sections of the trail. Though, the trail is a steady up and down without big differences in altitude. The hiking trail nestles to the slopes of the Duisitzer Hahnkamp and takes you through a beautiful timber forest and extensive fields of dwarf pines. After another 1 1/2 hours you reach Duisitzkarsee Lake at an altitude of 1,640 m.

Starched by the snacks of the huts you begin the last section of the tour - the descent from Duisitzkarsee Lake back to the trail head Eschachalm. You can choose whether you want to descend via a logging road or the nice (but a little steeper) hiking trail. After another 1 1/2 hours you reach Eschachalm again.

A beautiful hike in autumn when the larches get their golden colouring and reflect in the water of the crystal-clear lake.
