This 15 km winter hike (about 4 hours) follows the shore of Lake Grundlsee, offering stunning views of the Backenstein, Reichenstein, and the Totes Gebirge mountains.
The trail runs partly away from traffic, later along the lakeside, and is not suitable for children

The cleared winter trail initially runs above the lake, away from traffic, and later continues along the lakeside next to the main road. Shortly before reaching Gössl, the path climbs gently through a small forest section before arriving in the village.

Along the way, there are several places to stop for refreshments, such as the Gasthaus Seeblick or the Dorfwirtshaus Stöckl.
The return route follows the same trail back or can be done conveniently by Postbus line 955 to Grundlsee

More information

The journey to Grundlsee is best planned with google.at/maps.

From the Seehotel you first go in the opposite direction, between the houses up to Villa Karajan. Immediately after that, the path continues up to the right and already begins the high-altitude hiking trail through the so-called Gasperlhof to the parish church.

Above the parish church, the path leads to the Max Schraml inn and, staying above it, after a short climb follow the Johannes Ude path to Rößlern.

Continue along the cleared path to Gaiswinkl, from where the hike leads through the district of Kreuz, and at the Amon carpenter's workshop turn right to the provincial road that leads to Gößl.

At the Seehotel there is an abbreviated variant in the narrow road up to the left directly to the high trail.

In winter free parking at the Seehotel Grundlsee - starting point.
