Description

The starting point is the center car park in Oetz. First you walk along the river to the Brandach Bridge, cross it and follow the path to Kohlstatt. From here follow the signs to the Lake Piburger See. The left side of the lake is flat and also prepared in winter and is therefore easy to walk along. The Piburger See is a natural jewel, embedded in the Piburger See nature reserve. There are many stories surrounding the lake. In cold winters, the ice cover freezes completely and is prepared and released for ice skating. Follow the path up to the village of Piburg. Here you have the option to turn left and follow the path to Seejöchl. At Seejöchl you can see the winter landscape and the Piburger See below you from a bird's eye view.  Walk the same path back to Piburg and from there you follow the quiet state road back to Oetz.
