Via the Bräualm to the Hohensee lake
gemiddeld Family hikes · Naturpark Sölktäler
From St. Nikolai in the Großsölktal you hike along the Bräualmbach, past the Dürrmoos waterfall to the Hohensee. There, in addition to several dilapidated huts, there are two alpine pastures built of marble stones, which are, however, not managed. The lake itself is surrounded by high mountains and offers the perfect resting place for you.

Past the Gasthof Gamsjäger with the small department store and the church you go to the last houses in the town. At the barrier, follow the forest road to the left towards Bräualm - path marker #702. After about a kilometer you reach the pasture area of the Bräualm, where the Bräualmbach meanders through the valley. The buildings of the Bräualm appear on the other side of the bank. The path leads you further into the valley to the crossing of the Bräualmbach at the Kreuzsteg. Here you can enjoy nature and the view of the Dürrmoos waterfall on a bench.
The climb to Hohensee begins from the waterfall via the hiking trail. On the ascent you cross the forest road twice before staying on it the third time and continuing over three bends to its end. Here you now follow a slightly wider hiking trail to the Hohenseealm. At the lake you will finally find a nice place to rest. Return on the same route.
By train (train station Stein an der Enns) you arrive in the Sölktäler Nature Park. Here the valley bus (on weekdays from July 9 to September 11, 2022) will take you to the starting point of this hike. Here you can find more information and the current timetable.
Outside these times you can contact the Taxi Mayer in Fleiß. (Taxi Mayer - Tel.Nr. +43 676 54 09 858 or +43 676 60 28 107)
Weather changes, rapid drop in temperature, thunderstorms, wind, fog and snowfields are objective dangers and require the right behavior on the way. Hut keepers are experienced mountain connoisseurs, they can give good tips on the weather and the course of the trail. Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: avoid peaks, ridges and rope belays at all costs.
GPS data and orientation aids
Available GPS data are - like hiking maps - only an orientation aid, since they can never represent an exact image or the richness of detail of a path in reality. Especially in the case of danger spots, it must therefore always be decided in the end on the basis of the conditions on the spot whether and how the further course of the path looks like.
In case of emergency, please dial the following emergency numbers:140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency call service
A good backpack is helpful and for routes in alpine terrain, hood, gloves, a good jacket and pants are part of the basic equipment. Good, waterproof shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and enough drinks are essential. Flashlight, maps, knife and a small first aid box are also essential.
