text: # Kasereck
  
  The Kasereck, at 2,740 m above sea level (AA), is one of the highest peaks of the Schladming Tauern and thus also the Lower Tauern. It is the most prominent summit on the crest that runs from the Hochgolling southwards and separates the valleys of Göriachtal in the west and Lessachtal in the east. Geographically this mountain lies in Salzburg state and is most easily climbed from Göriach in the Lungau.
  
  Below the mountain nestles the lake of Piendlsee (2,033 m above sea level (AA)). The easiest ascent runs from the Göriacher Winkel from the Piendlalm via the Piendlsee and the southwest arête and west flank to the top.
