Description
Your path leads along the shores of Lake Lunz, which are dotted with natural treasures. The shallow bays are transformed by reeds and water lilies into a magnificent water garden. Dragonflies, true masters of aerobatics, buzz around and their soft flapping wings mingle with the rustling of wind-blown reeds. Shortly after Seehof Castle, a forest path quickly leads higher up.
You can feel the soft moss and leaves beneath your feet before you reach a meadow again. After crossing it, you pass a farm - now it's not far to the highest point of the panoramic mountain, as you soon reach the panoramic summit of Maiszinken (1075m). The ascent to the summit is rewarded with a fabulous view down to Lake Lunz glistening in the sunlight. The descent to the Rehbergalm past the Almgasthaus takes you further over the forest ridge of the Steinbauernberg and surprises you again and again with wonderful views.
