Description

The start of this circular walk is on the eastern shore at Café Seestüberl. Follow the paved road no. 822 along the northern shore to Pension Maier. Shortly before the pension Maier you turn left and follow the signs to Seestüberl (path no. 822) until you come to the forest path on the south bank of the lake. Now it goes through the forest slightly up- and downhill (please note: this section will not be cleared in winter and can be difficult to walk on snow) to the intersection with the signpost "Hintersteiner See South". Here you turn right and follow the road to the farm Greidern and continue towards Seestüberl until you arrive the starting point again.

At this roundhike you will find several cozy restaurants for a break.
In spring, when the snow on the sunny side of Scheffau has already melted, you can admire some snow roses!
