26.8.1010: Prebersee and Wöltinger Wald.
We drive up to the Prebersee, another moor lake at 1.514 m asl. All car parks are full, huge crouds on the way. So, we don´t walk up to the Niedere Tauern and Preber, sondern nach Süden, auf einsamen, unmarkierten Forststraßen, wo wir vollkommen alleine sind.
Wetland near the Prebersee.
View to the Preber (2.740 m).

We walked a bit up and are crossing a small dale with wetland.
On the ridge, we find ourselves on a beautiful Alpine pasture with a hunting lodge - the Wengerhütte at about 1.730 m asl.

We walk around the pasture ...
... and cross the smooth ridge, leading us to a huge high plateau. Here, a small lake called Dürrenecksee should be around the corner in the background, but there is no path and the terrain is so boggy, that we resign from walking closer.
Wetland around the Dürrenecksee.
Instead, we head to the left and, after 15 minutes walking through this wunderful, plain forest, ...
... we reach the next pasture aroun the Fritzenhütte at about 1.670 m asl.

Walking down the forest gravel road circling around the mountain, we pass by another pasture with the Konradenhütte at about 1.620 m asl.
