    Tips

    Lake Butzensee is a real highlight of the tour. Its crystal-clear, blue waters invite you to have a picnic right by the lake. The water is very cold and a refreshing way to cool off.

      A wonderfully clear mountain lake that offers refreshment, especially on warm to hot hiking days.
      If you take the circular hike up to the Braunarlspitze counterclockwise, you can treat yourself to a little cooling off or simply a quiet moment of relaxation after several hours of hiking.
      The water is easily accessible from all sides, so you can spread out and find your own quiet spot.
      The stones along the shore are quite sharp. If you plan on dipping more than just your feet in the water, you might want to consider packing a pair of lightweight beach/bathing shoes.
      The water is typically cold for a mountain lake, even on very hot summer days. However, I did see a "hardy" person swim in it for two minutes.
