Ötzlsee

Kreealm Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

This small chapel is on the way to the Kreealmen. It invites you to pause and be still. At the same time, it shows the tired hiker that the way to the two alpine pastures is not far.

Kreealm-Bichl Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The upper of the two Kreealmen is located in the Hohe Tauern National Park. The ascent is not without, but very beautiful, as there are always beautiful views of the wide landscape.

A magnificent environment in which - just a few steps from the official hiking trail - the mighty waterfall plunges into the valley. A short detour is always worth it!

With a slightly overcast sky, we set off towards the end of the valley today. After all, it's been supposed to thunderstorm here every day for the past four days. But somehow the weather isn't sticking to all the apps and weather reports.

Cold start today. Then a cozy stop in the well-heated Kreealm-Kreehütte. On the way down to the Özlsee it was wonderfully sunny, but still cool. Snow line at 1500m.

A beautiful, varied hike with great views.
The Ötzelsee currently has very little water, but it is still a very beautiful piece of earth. There is free art along the way.
The Kreehütte is very rustic and worth a visit.

What heat🌞🌡
Past the (highlight) Kreealm waterfall (we're barely there before we get there) up to the Kreealm hut🐄. Back down on a flat and very sunny path to Lake Ötzlsee with its natural Kneipp facility. It's refreshing 💧
