The Grabensee is located in the Salzburg Lake District on the border to Upper Austria. It is the smallest of the Trumer lakes, which also include the Mattsee, the Obertrumer See and the Wallersee. The picturesque hill country around the lake is ideal for leisurely hikes and walks. The number of hiking trails directly at Grabensee is manageable, but you can also take long laps around the neighbouring lakes. Lake bathing and water sports round off the offer.

Leisurely hike at Grabensee

Gentle hills, lush meadows, small forests and cosy villages – the landscape around the Grabensee is a cultural landscape straight out of a picture book and invites you to be active and to let your soul dangle. The Grabensee itself is under nature conservation. The shores are unspoilt and, apart from a public bathing beach, it is not easy to get to the shore. The bathing beach in the municipality of Perwang is also the place where most of the action is. On a nice day, a visit is highly recommended.

Depending on where you are coming from, you should cycle if possible. Around the lake, on both the Innviertel and Salzburg sides, there is an extensive network of small roads and paths. Cycling here is pure pleasure. From the car park of the lido in Perwang you can set off on easy tours.

How long does it take to hike around Grabensee?

As the Grabensee is not too big, it is a good idea to hike around the lake. The easy hike offers enjoyment and relaxation for young and old, no matter how fit you are. The loop around the lake is about 8 kilometres long and you should plan on about 2.5 hours with small breaks.

.

The landscape is more spectacular elsewhere, at Grabensee it is the small things and the beautiful lake views that enchant. On the natural shore you can observe all kinds of animals or watch the Mattig as it makes its way north. The circular walk around Grabensee is perfect for a family day out, good conversation and marvelling at nature.

Hikes to the neighbouring Trumer Lakes

For longer hikes, it is a good idea to include the neighbouring lakes in the route planning. Lake Mattsee is particularly ideal for this, as there is an almost traffic-free circular hiking trail around it. However, if you want to combine the loop around Grabensee with the one around Mattsee, you will need time and stamina, as the route will then be almost 20 kilometres long.

More hiking tips for the region:

  • You can get great views on hikes on the Buchberg near Mattsee. Its location offers views of the northern Alps that are simply fantastic.
  • Devil's Ditch Seeham: An exciting hike leads into the Devil's Ditch. This hike will especially please children.

Leisure tips for Grabensee

In the Trumer Lakes area you can not only enjoy excellent hiking, but of course also water activities. At Grabensee itself, only swimming is allowed due to nature conservation, but for SUP tours or boat trips you can visit the beach beaches at Mattsee and Obertrumer See. If you prefer to cycle, you also have a number of options here.

The Trumer Seen lakes are a dream come true for cyclists anyway. The laps around the lakes can be topped off with trails.
