Description

The hike starts at Seefeld train station and first leads through the pedestrian zone. From there, the route continues through the Kirchwald district towards Mösern. Trail No. 2 gently ascends through nature, offering beautiful views along the way. After some time, the high point near Mösern is reached.

At the small chapel, the path crosses the road. Just on the left, a signpost points towards Gschwandtkopf. The route first follows Trail No. 4, which leads to a junction after about ten minutes. From here, Trail No. 85 continues uphill to the summit of Gschwandtkopf. At the top, the Sonnenalm, the mountain restaurant, and the Panoramabar Gschwandtkopf invite visitors to take a break. Before descending, it is worth taking a short walk around the reservoir, which blends beautifully into the landscape and reflects the surrounding peaks in its calm waters.

After the stop, the trail descends towards Wildsee. The picturesque lake accompanies the final section of the hike before arriving back at the starting point in Seefeld. A varied route that combines nature, movement, and stunning views.
