Altaussee cress round

Varied alternative to the lake circuit to Obertressen/Bad Aussee and back via the river promenade.

Starting from the Kurhaus or the Seeklause, always along the lakeside promenade, you can expect ascents over forest passages and side roads to the Hoffmannsthal lime tree, a descent down to the Klaus Maria Brandauer promenade and then the way back along the Traun.
