Hiking

A beautiful round with views. The round is designed as a gravel road and you need no special equipment or fitness. Unfortunately also very crowded. Have fun.

Hiking

Unfortunately, we were unlucky and couldn't see the reflection of the mountains in the lake 😥 Nevertheless, it's a beautiful hike with great viewpoints - it's definitely worth it even then.
