Short description:
For this hike it is recommended to combine it with the local shipping. The Kammersee, which is part of the Three Lakes Tour and only accessible by traditional boats , the so-called "Plättn".

In some parts of the route you will find information boards of the theme hike called "Geo-Trail", which starts at the south bank of the Grundlsee and leads via Gößl finally to the Toplitzsee. At the north bank of the biggest lake in Styria, the Grundlsee, we follow the route "VIA ARTIS", which is a kind of learning path informing about artists, who were living or at least appeared somehow in the area.

Description:
Not later than at the Toplitzsee dining local fish you will realise why this tour is defined as "enjoyable". 

 


The Geo-Trail informs its visitors well-represented about the evolutionary history and origin of the Salzkammergut. Millions of years ago a geologic process formed the today's region "Ausseerland-Salzkammergut".


 


34 information boards guide you through the development of the area. During the walk to the Toplitzsee you will learn about the orogenesis of the local mountains, the Ice Age and its effects to the landscape.



Directions:
From the first parking there are just few steps on the cycle path which brings you straight to the Grundlsee in few minutes. After the Seehotel at a narrow point we turn to the left upwards. 150 meters further up you reach the path which leads hightened parallel to the street along the lake to the east. On graveled and taramac we carry on walking this way without turning. In the area called "Gaiswinkel" at the taramac road first we turn left and then again right. Passing the local carpenter "Amon" we take the small road to the left and follow this until we are at the gravel pit. There is located the big fish farm of the Austrian Federal Forestry Company. Further we carry by following the signs to Gößl, where at the roundabout we turn to the right. Reaching the tradtional inn "Gasthof Veit" the graveld road brings us to the Toplitzsee. At the fishing hut there is the landing for boats in order to take a journey to the Kammersee. 

Back at the fishing hut and after a rest we take the way back to Gößl via the path "Reith" where there reminds a monument on the first sight of the archduke with the daughter of a local postmaster at that time. After a path through the forest and again on a graveld road soon you reach Gößl.


Another way back to Gößl leads along the "Toplitz-Parcour" along the river.


In Gößl you can take the way back to the starting point by  boat. 


Also you can walk along the south bank of the lake via the area "Wienern". First on a taramac street and a graveld road then on a small path we walk along this ways straight ahead untill finally you reach again the "Seeklause".


 


Baby buggies and  wheelchairs:


The tour alon the taramac roads and graveld pathes until the Toplitzsee are for baby buggies accessible and in general suitable for wheelchairs until the Toplitzsee via the village Gößl. For the way back it is recommended to take the same way or go back by boat.

Vis-à-vis users

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.

 

The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.

 

The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.

 

We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.

 

Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.

 

The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.

 

2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.

 

The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.

 

The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.

 

3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.

 

We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.

 

4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:

 

Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.

 

a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.

b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.

c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).

It is obligatory to provide first aid!

d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!

Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.

e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.

f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.

g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!

h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!

i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.

Moreover, we have no influence on the design or contents of the websites to which hyperlinks on ausseerland.salzkammergut.at lead or from which hyperlinks lead to ausseerland.salzkammergut.at.
