According to old legends, all the villains of the area are banished to the Wilde See, where they endure "cold torment" most of the year under a thick layer of ice. It was brave that in 1834 two men – albeit with clerical assistance – dared to explore the enchanted waters: they found the water to be 46 meters deep beneath the ice. With an area of about 11 hectares, the Wilde See is the largest natural lake on the southern side of the Zillertal Alps. And a "roaring" one at that. Like other bodies of water in the Alps, it is said to announce storms through peculiar noises – a phenomenon that has yet to be definitively explained.
The tour starts at the parking lot, first passing the idyllic Fanealm, 1739 m, then into the "Schramme." On a wide forest road, you walk through the wild gorge of the Valser Bach deeply carved into the slate rock. At the fork ahead (1972 m, straight to Brixner Hut), the green valley of Seebach opens to the left. The lane ends at Labesebenalm, 2138 m; the red-white marked path leads uphill through the alpine pasture terrain, then crosses the Seebach and diagonally ascends a slope to Salzbichl. In the background, the Wurmaulspitz, 3022 m, with its erosion-sculpted steep flanks, is beautifully visible. At the fork in the innermost valley floor, 2475 m, turn right to Seeleite. Shortly upwards, then flat over the steep grassy slope (caution!) to the southern shore of the Wilde See, 2532 m. Descent via the same route.
