Description

A roughly 30-minute walk around lake Tristachersee, the only natural swimming lake in Osttirol. The route is mostly flat and runs along the shore. There are benches along the way for short breaks. At the end, you return to the Parkhotel Tristachersee. A visit of the "Alten See", a natural biotope that serves as the source of the lake Tristachersee, is also well worth the effort.
