Etrachsee circular hike

This hike is suitable for young and old and scores with fantastic impressions of nature.
You take a leisurely walk around Lake Etrachsee and come across one or two grazing animals along the way. A small wooden bridge follows in the middle of the forest, which is adorned with small, hand-erected cairns. On hot summer days, the lake invites you to take a refreshing dip after this short hike.
