Tip for hot days - the mountain bike tour to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Tyrol. The brave can swim in the ice-cold, crystal-clear lake, while the motivated can hike on to the Coburger Hütte. And there is even a charging station for e-bikes.
Rustic alpine pastures and a crystal-clear mountain lake: the tour starts at the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn and leads via the Ehrwalder Alm to the mountain station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn - where you can charge your e-bike. The route continues past the Alpenglühn mountain inn and through idyllic forest along the Gaisbach stream. The trail leads past the Igelsee lake in the direction of the Seebenwände to the glistening green Seebensee lake at an altitude of 1,658 meters. If you are still not tired, you can combine the tour with a hike to the Drachensee lake at the Coburger Hütte.
Starting from the valley station of the Ehrwalder Almbahn(route no. 813) on the very steep, continuously asphalted road to the Ehrwalder Alm at 1,493m (alternatively: ascent with the Ehrwalder Almbahn). Pass the Tirolerhaus over the alpine pasture, after a short ascent over the saddle to the entrance of the Gaistal valley. At the fork, take route no. 813 in the direction of Seebenalm. Past the alpine pasture, partly steep and gravely to the Seebensee. The Seebensee lies in a picturesque mountain landscape with views of the surrounding mountains and the Wetterstein massif with the Zugspitze (2,962m).
