Seebachtal & Stappitzer See — The Valley of Waterfalls

The Seebachtal is among the most accessible valleys in the Hohe Tauern National Park. Starting near the Ankogelbahn cable car station in Mallnitz, the trail is nearly flat — wide gravel road suitable for strollers and wheelchairs to the lake. The focal point is the Stappitzer See, a clear lake surrounded by vertical 1,000m cliffs and numerous waterfalls. The valley is known for its 'Ice Holes' — a natural phenomenon where cold air escapes from rock crevices, creating a cool micro-ecosystem even in mid-summer.

At 1,085 meters, Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is the highest mountain in Wales and a true giant of the British Isles. The legendary circular route combining the Pyg Track for the ascent and the Miners' Track for the descent offers an unparalleled journey into the heart of the Snowdon massif. Starting high at the Pen-y-Pass car park, the Pyg Track traces a rugged, ascending line beneath the sheer precipice of Crib Goch, providing stirring views of the mountain’s lakes (Llyns) in the immense eastern cwm. The summit provides panoramas extending across Snowdonia, Anglesey, and even Ireland on a clear day. The return via the Miners' Track descends to the shores of Llyn Llydaw and Glaslyn, bringing you face-to-face with remnants of 19th-century copper mining operations.
