Description

From the car park at the end of the valley, follow the well-cleared forest path; it climbs gradually in a few bends up to the Obernbergersee lake. The ascent is done - from now on the trail leads flat and level along the lake to Hinterer See. You return along the same path. In winter, the lake can only be accessed on one side; it is not possible to walk around it. The toboggan run begins in the area of the former Obernbergersee inn and leads back to the starting point/car park.

Tip: Take a snack with you - there is only the possibility to stop at the bottom of the valley - not at the lake.
