Hohentauern

The Große Scheibelsee is a natural treasure in the Rottenmanner Tauern in Styria.

The Great Scheibelsee in Styria is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes. Surrounded by majestic peaks, at the foot of the Bösenstein, and breathtaking nature, it is a true gem in Hohentauern in the Murtal region.

Hiking around the Great Scheibelsee is simply a dream. The well-marked hiking trails lead you through dense forests, where you can also discover tall stone pines. The picturesque landscape of Styria will enchant you with every step. Whether you are an experienced hiker or simply want to enjoy nature, here, everyone will find their personal hiking paradise.

Experienced hikers can climb the Bösenstein, and for those who prefer a leisurely mountain walk, the toll road to the Edelrautehütte can be used, followed by a short hike to the Scheibelsee. Taking a small hike around the mountain lake is wonderful, and beautiful spots right by the water invite you to take breaks.

Styria is renowned for its diverse and impressive mountain world, and the Great Scheibelsee is undoubtedly one of its most precious treasures. With its clear, turquoise blue surface, it reflects the surrounding landscape.
