Tips

Alpbachtal

March 23, 2017

Near Breitenbach, near the Mooswand, lies the idyllic, small Berglsteinersee, at the foot of the ruins of the castle Gückenbühl. A gloomy legend weaves its veils around the lake and the castle. The knight's beautiful little daughter once loved a brave, but poor hunter, whom the proud lord of the castle in his wrath with dogs from the castle rushed, so that the fleeing rushed into the lake and drowned. Of the destiny, the dearest in heart hit, rose the Ritterfräulein often down to the lake, in order to weep the loss, the Unforgettable. Once, when it looked moodily back into the lake, the dead-white countenance of the hunter appeared, calling the lover to him. With a cry, the girl threw herself into the waves. Now the lovers were united in death and since then protrude petrified as two small islands from the still waters of the Alpine lake.

Very nice little lake with bathing bay. The Berglsteiner Lake is easily accessible on foot from the hiking car park (below at Seen Str.).
