In the heart of Flachgau in the Salzburger Seenland lies the beautiful town of Mattsee on the shore of the lake of the same name. This short and easy hike leads along the eastern shore and is suitable for all ages. The route is doable year-round and particularly beautiful in spring with the beginning bloom.
After our hike, we can rent a boat and end the day peacefully.

    Sehr schöne Rundwanderung, die allerdings entgegen dem Titel ganz und gar nicht nur im Frühjahr zu empfehlen ist. Wirt sind heute bei doch schon sehr sommerlichen Temperaturen unterwegs gewesen und waren froh, dass doch ein großer Teil des Weges im Wald verläuft - wir werden uns das sogar eher für heisse Sommertage merken.
