Description

Starting point is at the information office in Thiersee. From there you walk a short distance along the main road and then turn off following the signs towards the former Gasthof Wachtl. On the way there you will pass picturesque houses and finally reach the inn. After a refreshing stop for refreshments, you briefly follow the same path uphill again, but turn left immediately at the 1st crossroads towards Marblinger Höhe. Follow this path through the wintry forest, turn right once again towards Thiersee and thus return to Thiersee through a settlement situated between two small hills.
