Stage 2 of the BergeSeen Trail spoils you with three beautiful mountain lakes. From the starting point, the “Windlegern” inn, you continue over the Vorderen Langbathsee to the Hinteren Langbarthsee. You will marvel at him first. The next lake on your list is Taferlklaussee. Today's destination is Steinbach am Attersee.

Stage 3 of the BergeSeen Trail takes you from Steinbach am Attersee to the famous St. Wolfgang. In easy ups and downs, accompanied by beautiful views of the Attersee, it goes through a shady high forest to Weißenbach. The trail climbs up to the Schwarzensee and then down to the stage destination St. Wolfgang.

With its quite a few meters in altitude, stage 4 looks like a whole lot of work. So first of all: Using the cog railway to the Schafbergalm (schafbergbahn.at) can save you a bit of time and a lot of ascent. From the Schafbergalm you then go down to the stage destination St. Gilgen with a wonderful view.

The fifth stage starts in St. Gilgen and it spoils you on the way with what is probably the most beautiful panoramic view over the Mondsee. In addition, it goes up to the Almkogel - if you get up early, you will also be served an amazing sunrise in addition to the panorama. Then it goes downhill towards… read more

Stage 5 of your BergeSeen Trail adventure takes you from Mondsee to Fuschl am See. And compared to yesterday's tour, today's ten kilometers seem almost like a walk.

The eighth stage allows you to take it easy with a distance of almost twelve kilometers and an altitude difference of less than 200 meters. The route leads you through the valley of the Tauglbach, past the romantic Hintersee. The destination of the hike is Hintersee, around five kilometers from the eponymous body of water.

A special experience awaits you today: the seventh stage takes you up to the Postalm, a beautiful alpine pasture with beautiful nature and nice huts. But let's start in Hintersee. In addition to other rustic alpine pastures along the way, you can also look forward to the summit climb to the Hohe Zinken.

Stage 8 of the BergeSeen Trail is relatively easy with its eleven and a half kilometers. From yesterday's idyllic stage destination, the Postalm, you walk across endless alpine meadows, the extensive Thoralmsattel and along the high moor "Blinklingmoos" to the stage destination Strobl, at the eastern end of Lake Wolfgang.

As part of stage 9 of the BergeSeen Trail, you will hike from the charming Strobl to the traditional Bad Ischl. From the Strobler center it goes along the lakeshore promenade and over forest and hiking trails to Lake Nussensee - half time of your hike. The idyllic Elisabeth-Waldweg finally leads you… read more

On the twelfth stage it gets really mountainous again. From Bad Ischl you go up to the 1,461 meter Hohe Feuerkogel, where the rustic Katrinalm is also located. The Katrin hiking trail of the same name then meanders down into the valley of the Traun and leads you to cozy Bad Goisern, today's destination.

The 13th stage spoils you with lush alpine meadows, rustic huts and wide panoramic views. From Bad Goisern, the starting point of the stage, you first hike gently, then more heartily up through mountain forests. The last part to the Goiserer Hütte, the highest point of the tour, takes you in serpentines… read more
