Gerzkopf with Black Lake

The tour starts at the Knappbauern in Eben, where you can also park. After two switchbacks on a forest road, turn left onto hiking trail no.15. Via this path, which leads through the shady high forest, you will soon reach the ridge height. On the apex of this ridge it goes on a slight incline to the tree line. In between there are always wonderful views of the Dachstein and Bischofsmütze, which invite you to rest for a moment. At the beginning of the mountain pines you will reach a fork in the road. The Schäferhütte is located at the bottom right, but you cross a short but steep mountain pine belt on the left to the idyllic and "legendary" Schwarzen Lacke. You are already in the middle of the nature reserve when the summit of the Gerzkopf (1,728m) comes within sight. After a total of two hours of walking, you can ring the bell on the summit and enjoy the wonderful panorama. On the descent there is the opportunity to stop for a snack from the friendly dairymaid of the Schäferhütte. Strengthened and full of unforgettable impressions, it goes from there back to the Knappbauern.
