STARTING POINT
The idyllicalpinerefuge above the lake, the Seebensee, is easy to get to from Salzbach in the Leutasch side valley, the Gaistal. There is a carpark (charges apply) if you choose to drive or a bus stop if you prefer to arrive by regional bus. From Salzbach follow the wide, family-friendly, gravel trail past the refreshment stops, the Gaistalalm and Tillfussalm, until you come to the crystal-clear lake, the Seebensee, and from there continue to the Coburger Hütte. Alternatively, you can take the gondola from Ehrwald to the Ehrwalder Alm and walk or cycle from there.


SUMMER TOURS

• Bike & Hike lake Seebensee & lake Drachensee. The panoramic and only slightly ascending forest path starts at the Salzbach car park and runs along the river Leutascher Ache, passing the huts Gaistal- & Tillfussalm to the lake Seebensee. The last kilometer is steep and partly on coarse gravel. Therefore we recommoned to park the bike at the Seebenalm. Then it goes steeper uphill to the Seebensee. This crystal clear lake with its Caribbean colours invites you to cool off. After the refreshment it leads further 40 walking minutes very steeply up to the Coburgerhütte. From there you have a breathtaking view of the Seebensee and the Zugspitze. Next to the Coburgerhütte, another natural jewel awaits you, the lake Drachensee.

• (E)-bike tour through the valley, the Gaistal. A spectacular, moderately difficult bike tour through the valley, the Gaistal, to the Coburger Hütte. Start from the Salzbach carpark and cycle along well-marked gravel trails to just below the lake, the Seebensee. The final kilometre is steep so you can either cycle or walk. From the lake, continue on foot up to the Coburger Hütte. There are several places to stop for a rest along the way and you might even enjoy a spontaneous paddle in the cool waters of the Leutascher Ache. Return the same way, just somewhat faster downhill.
