Augstwiesalm

Augstwiesalm sits at 1,415 meters above sea level in the southwest region of Totes Gebirge, featuring natural meadows and traditional alpine architecture.

Archaeological discoveries on the main moraine revealed cultural artifacts from 800 years ago, marking the late medieval settlement expansion in Altaussee.

The site maintains 22 traditional Ausseer-style huts with lower stables and upper living quarters, preserving alpine farming practices.

Hikers can access the pasture via marked path 201 from Altaussee, with a one-hour trek from Albert-Appel-Haus through varied terrain.

The meadow experiences extreme temperature drops to -38.7°C during winter months due to cold air accumulation in its geological depression.
