    Roadbook

    The start of the route can also begin at Wielandhof / Kocherbauer, but there is also the possibility to drive another 1500 meters downhill at Kocherbauer, where there is a parking lot in front of a barrier. Then follow the forest road to an ascent, which takes about 10 - 15 minutes until the next alpine pasture is reached. Before the lake, it rises again. The return is on the same path.
