14.5.2023: Prebersee and Etrachsee.
A lake- tour in the Lungau and and the Krakaudorf valley, with the car and walking.
Immediately after the carpark, we face a wonderful moorland.
Lake Preber - Prebersee is a moor lake see, on the watershed between Lungau and the Krakau valley, on the border between the federal states of Salzburg and Styria.
The water is black, so despite the altitude of 1.500 m it is suited for bathing after long summer heat periods.
Wonderful grassland elong the Northern and southern shore.
Broad-leaved marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza majalis)

We walk around the lake, in some places, the path is a bit apart from the water.
