Long hike around the lakes
The hike around the lake starts at the Seestraße car park. Turn right and follow the forest road along lake Heiterwanger See. After walking for 5 minutes cross the Grundbach bridge. After 30 minutes you reach the “Zwirche”, a beautiful bay for swimming and relaxing. Follow the path towards the canal bridge. Before the bridge turn right at Plansee shore to Hotel Forelle. From there a mountain trail leads to the Hotel Seespitze. Cross the wooden bridge and continue towards the canal. Return on the Tauern side back to Hotel Fischer am See (Tauern side not suitable for prams).
