Arrival by public transport

A hike to the beautiful nature reserve Vilsalpsee.
It should be noted that mountain sports can involve an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Preparing by endurance training, appropriate technical training and education, as well as personal caution, reduces the risk of accidents and dangers. But please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.
Contemporary and well-maintained/serviced equipment (shoes, poles and clothing) not only provides a considerable amount of safety but also greatly facilitates hiking. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) as well as sufficient fluids should not be forgotten.
Since the area around the Vilsalpsee has been designated a nature reserve for over 50 years and is also a Natura 2000 site, this hike offers especially attractive features.
The barrier-free paths and excursion destinations selected by us also invite families and people with mobility aids to explore: they are mostly paved or well-gravelled and mostly easy to navigate with strollers or wheelchairs – for some sections however a helping hand can be beneficial.
