Caribbean feeling at 2,140m above sea level at the turquoise Seekarlsee. The lake began to discolour about 15 years ago due to the erosion of silt.

Dear hikers, enjoy the uniqueness of this landscape and please be careful with it! Take garbage back to the valley. No pollution in the lake. Please do not go into the water and bathe! Otherwise, the lake bottom will be clearly dark discoloured as a result of turbulence.

Thanks to your common sense, the uniqueness and beauty will be preserved for everyone. Thank you very much! The Nature Park Team and the Alm Community
