| The 3 Lakes Walk |
||
| Particularly precious gems of the Seefeld Olympic Region | ||
| Route | Seefeld – Möserer See – Lottensee – Wildmoos-See – Seefeld | |
| Walking time | 4 hours approx. |
|
| Level of difficulty | easy | |
Starting from the World Championship tennis complex in Seefeld, our route takes us via the Möserer Mähder with a short climb toward Mösern. Take the right hand path at the final crossroads; this will take you past the Kaiserhof, Olympia and Hubertushof hotels to the Möserer See lake. This lake, in an idyllic setting, is a favourite destination in the summer for those who enjoy swimming in natural surroundings (there is no charge), and is one of the warmest lakes for swimming in the Tyrol. The small island in the middle of the lake is particularly attractive because it can only be reached by swimming. A path takes us round the lake (approx. 20 minutes). The lakeside ‘Möserer Seestub´n’ restaurant offers a comfortable stop-off point from which we can view the lake. After circling the lake, we go downhill past the Hotel Tirol along a tarmac road for a short way, and reach the Gasthof Menthof after about 10 minutes. From here, we take the Pirschsteig path towards the Lottensee Lake. Before entering the forest, a series of benches invite us to enjoy a wonderful view of the Inn Valley. Shortly afterwards, before reaching the Lottensee, the Pirschsteig path comes out on to a tarmac road, which we follow for a short distance. Soon afterwards, we see the lake with fluctuating water levels ahead of us, and we have the opportunity of stopping for a bite to eat and fortifying ourselves at the Lottensee Hut. Then we follow Path no. 2 to the Wildmoos holiday park and the Wildmoosalm Alp, well known and loved by guests and locals alike. Here there is another lake with fluctuating water levels to be admired. Shortly after the Wildmoosalm Alp, the Hörmannweg path leads us to the right, into the forest and back to Seefeld. It is also possible to walk back to Mösern via the Brunschkopf. If you are walking with smaller children or a pushchair, we recommend walking only to the Möserer See Lake from Seefeld (approx. 1 1/2 hours) and taking the bus back to Seefeld from the village centre in Mösern. Bus timetables with exact departure times are available at reception. |

| The "Ganghoferweg"-Path into Gaistal Valley | ||
| In the steps of Ganghofer - Walking in the Alpine Pasture Paradise |

| Route | Salzbach Bridga car park – Gaistalalm – Tillfussalm | |
| Walking time | 3 hours approx. | |

Ludwig Ganghofer (1855 – 1920), one of the best-known writers on his native Austria of his time, spent many weeks of the year at his hunting lodge ‘Hubertus’ at the Tillfußalm in the Gaistal Valley, Leutasch. This is where he wrote, among others, one of his most well known novels ‘Das Schweigen im Walde’ (‘Silence in the Forest’). Many famous names from the world of art and culture were his guests here, such as Hugo von Hofmanntal and Richard Strauss. The income from his novels allowed Ganghofer to take a lease on the Gaistal hunt, one of the greatest hunts in the Northern Alps. Some of the many riding trails that he had laid out are still maintained today. The popular path leading to Ganghofer’s House was named in his honour and offers both the wonderful landscapes of the Gaistal, Tillfuss and Hämmermoos Pastures and many pleasant opportunities to take a break. You can also admire Ganghofer’s house, but only from the outside, because it is not open to the public. The path begins in the hamlet of Klamm at the Salzbachbrücke Bridge car park. A gentle climb at the beginning is followed by an easy path, passing below the Hämmermoosalm Pasture (reached after about 45 minutes) to the Gaistalalm Pasture (a walk of 1 ½ hours). We continue to the Tillfussalm Pasture (1¾ hours), which is located below the hunting lodge. We follow the same route back to the starting point at the Salzbach car park. Walkers with an interest in history and culture should also visit the Ganghofer Museum, right next to the church in the Kirchplatzl district of Leutasch. This museum gives us an insight into the life and work of Ludwig Ganghofer, the history of the village of Leutasch and hunting in Leutasch. Opening times: Monday – Friday 3 p.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m. – 5 p.m., Entrance: adults € 3 (discount with the guest’s card), children up to 14 years free of charge. |
