Tauplitz: Mountain Lakes, Winter Trails and Churches

Tauplitz offers different starting points for a stay: the village and the Tauplitzalm, which lies in the Totes Gebirge mountain range. If you’re looking for a hotel in Tauplitz, the focus of your trip can help you organize the places you want to visit within the destination. The alpine plateau has lakes and hiking trails; the chairlifts to the plateau start in Tauplitz. Winter hiking trails and ski slopes offer other clearly defined activity areas. This makes it possible to plan your trip around the landscape, activities and the location you want to stay near before choosing a hotel.

Mountain Lakes, Trails and a Waterfall

There are six mountain lakes on the Tauplitzalm, including Märchensee and Steirersee. Well-marked trails connect the lakes, so a hike on the Tauplitzalm need not focus on just one lake. Trail conditions can vary by season. A mountain panorama accompanies the route from the Tauplitzalm to the summit of Traweng. Another natural attraction is the Tauplitz Waterfall: it is approximately 30 meters high, and you can discover ten well-marked stops with information boards as you explore it. This gives you the choice between a hike connecting several lakes and exploring ten marked information stops at the waterfall.

Hiking and Winter Activities

The hiking and walking trails on the Tauplitzalm are well developed. Some are suitable for strollers and wheelchairs; weather and maintenance conditions can affect accessibility. If you depend on this partial suitability, check the conditions on your specific route before your visit.

In winter, the well-maintained winter hiking trails in Tauplitz offer 360-degree panoramic views of hundreds of surrounding mountain peaks. By contrast, the wide slopes on Lawinenstein and Schneiderkogel offer good seasonal conditions for gentle turns and are suitable for families. The two winter activities therefore differ according to the kind of outing you’re looking for: panoramic views while hiking or gentle turns on the slopes. The village on the Tauplitzalm is car-free in winter; take this seasonal detail into account when finding your way around.

Getting There and Local Landmarks

The four-seat Tauplitz I and II chairlifts run from Tauplitz to the Tauplitzalm, at an elevation of 1,650 meters; together, they are four kilometers long. RegioBus route 950 runs to the Tauplitz municipal office or the mountain lift’s valley station. If you plan to take the bus, check the route 950 timetable before your trip.

The two churches differ in location and history: Tauplitzalm Mountain Church was built on the Tauplitzalm in 1962/1963 at the initiative of Catholic youth; the Roman Catholic parish church of Tauplitz is in the village center.
