Easy, wheelchair-accessible hike around the Wildsee.
This easy, wheelchair-accessible trail takes you all the way around the Seefeld Wildsee. Over 3.4 km, you can enjoy both the romantic pedestrian zone of Seefeld and the lake that gave the village its name. The path is mostly flat, wide, and free of hazards, with only a few short climbs (max. 8 metres) that do not exceed an 8% gradient.
The route begins at the accessible train station in Seefeld (with accessible toilets and disabled parking) and leads straight into the historic pedestrian zone. This lively street often hosts festivals and markets, with plenty of cosy cafés and terraces to enjoy a coffee or an aperitif. In front of the parish church St. Oswald, turn left towards the south and continue until the end of the pedestrian zone. Cross the zebra crossing, pass Hotel Seespitz, and follow the well-maintained gravel path along the Wildsee. Here you may already spot the first ducks swimming while passing the car park on your left. If you wish to shorten the route, you can start directly from this car park.
After passing the Strandperle lido (accessible toilets available), the trail leads through the Reither Moor nature reserve. For a short stretch, the lake disappears from view until the path curves right and returns to the water. From this landscape – the “field by the lake” – Seefeld takes its name. Soon, the path enters the forest, home to many squirrels that can often be observed right from the trail.
The path always follows the lakeshore, with several viewing platforms inviting you to pause and take in the scenery. Once you leave the lake behind, the gravel path brings you back to the Möserer Landesstraße, where you re-join the sidewalk. Turning left takes you to the zebra crossing and back into the pedestrian zone, while right leads to the lake car park. From the pedestrian zone, it’s only a short distance back to the train station – unless the smell of Kaiserschmarrn and fresh coffee tempts you to make one last stop.
