The romantic Gumpental is not only attractive because of its unspoilt alpine pasture culture, but above all because of its cosy places to stop for refreshments. Three enchanting alpine pastures spoil their guests with products from local agriculture. But to make sure the snack really tastes good, we recommend an excursion to the beautifully situated Moaralmsee before stopping off at the huts. The dark lake is easily accessible and lies picturesquely at the foot of the steeply rising Höchstein.

Description

The best way to start is from one of the parking places at the Almstraße into the Gumpental.

On foot you go along the Güterweg past the Maierl- and Schmiedalm to the Stangl Alm at the end of the valley.

To the Moaralmsee it goes now steeper becoming in several hairpin bends up the mountain slope.

After about 1 hour from the Stangl Alm, the Güterweg leads into the Almsteig no.

781, flanked by bushes.

The narrow path leads uphill over small steps.

We cross a small brook and come to the shore of the dark Moaralmsee (1,827 m).

Larger stone blocks and meadows invite you to sit down and relax.

Children can go on an adventurous voyage of discovery around the lake.

The way back is along the ascent route. equipment sturdy shoes, rain protection, possibly hiking poles
