Striated rock patterns along Schlatenbach stream, Gschlöß Valley, Hohe Tauern NP, Austria, Eastern Alps, Europe.

Beautifully striated rock patterns are exposed along Schlatenbach stream. Hike the beautiful Gschlöß Valley (Gschlößtal) to see the rapidly-melting Schlaten Glacier (Schlatenkees) in the Venediger Group, along the rewarding Gletscherweg Innergschloss loop trail in Hohe Tauern ("High Mountain Pass") National Park, state of Salzburg, Austria, Eastern Alps, Europe. Directions: from Mittersill, drive 30 minutes south. Take the long tunnel (€13 toll each way) on FelbertauernStrasse mountain road B108, exit sharply right, then park in the pay lot at Matreier Tauernhaus. The Gletscherweg Innergschloss circuit is 6 miles with 2400 feet gain if using the taxi round trip from Matreier Tauernhaus to Innergschlöß, or else 12 miles & 3600 feet gain from Matreier Tauernhaus parking lot. In July 2023, the Innergschlöß taxis were €6 per person, every 20 minutes from 8:20am–5pm, either by fast van or slow tractor-pulled trailer, to reach Alpengasthof Venedigerhaus in Innergschlöß. At the loop's high point, optionally add Neue Prager Hut 3.2 mi with 1850 ft gain (making 9.2 mi round trip with 3850 ft gain, with taxi). If you have an extra day, hike from Innergschlöß along the Ochsnerwaldweg trail, on the mid level north side of Gschloss Valley (4 mi with 1100 ft gain round trip).
