To the Blue Lake (Blaue Lacke) we leave Sulzenau hut in a south-westerly direction, towards Sulzenau glacier. At the first fork in the trail, we walk past the sign directing us towards the Trögler. At the next fork, we follow the sign ‘Blaue Lacke’ and cross over the river via a bridge. After a light ascent through the ‘Almrosen’ flowers, we reach the Blue Lake. A beautiful relaxing walk, good for families with small children. The perfect length to kill some time or work up a hunger before enjoying lunch back at the hut. The blue Lake lays on the Stubai high trail, so when you hike along, come and visit it.

England has it’s Stonehenge, but we have our holy crain ground at the blue lake, come and see which one is more impressive!!!

According to Wikipedia cairns are used as trail markers in many parts of the world and when you come and visit the blue lake you have the impression that we have collected them all!

It’s absolutly worth seeing it – come and build yourself a monument.

Distance: about 2 km. Highlights: glacial polish. View to Niederl, Blue Lake, Sulzenau valey, Zuckerhütl, Wilder Pfaff, Aperer Freiger, Sulzenauferner, Fernerstube

The Sulzenau Lake developed by shrinking of the Sulzenauferner and lies in glacial moraine of the Sulzenauferner. The Sulzenau Lake developed 2003 as the glacial stream did change it’s flow totally overnight.
Before was the glacial door orographically left on the moraine, in the morning was the glacial door suddenly in the center, where it is still today.

The Lake is a real highlight – a spectacle of nature how the glacier tongue melts into the Lake. The ice of the Sulzenauferner shows here it’s wonderful blue color tones and the whole thing is perfected by a stunning view to the glaciers and valley.
