Author’s recommendation
Warming up in the Relax indoor pool Litschau with its small but fine sauna area is highly recommended!
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
The route runs along the Herrensee to the beach, from there uphill to the right to the theater and holiday village Königsleitn. Then it goes a short distance towards Schandachen and finally continues towards Saass. On the right side of the route is a resting place, the tree group "Three Brothers." After passing through the dispersed settlement Saass, we pass the neo-baroque little castle in Hörmanns. After the small bridge on the left, you are immediately in the village of Hörmanns, at the end of which the path leads back to the Herrensee. Here you have the choice of whether to use the Herrensee circular path on the left or right to return to the starting point of the hike.
