シュテファンスキルヒェンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

A charming beer garden on the southwest side of the lake. Open only in good weather.

From the path you have a beautiful view over Riedering with its slender church tower and across to the Chiemgau Alps.

The trail crosses the Sims River over this wooden bridge after it flows out of Lake Sims. The almost eight-kilometer-long watercourse was first mentioned in a document in 1522, and the village of the same name, known as "Sinsa," was already mentioned in 790. The name is possibly of Celtic origin and derives from Senja, which means marshland and reeds.

An iron wayside cross with a figure of Christ reminds us to always follow God's path and to appreciate nature.

Along the bird trail, local birds are introduced. The wooden boxes, each featuring a picture and a question mark, are particularly interesting. When opened, pictures and information about a past "Bird of the Year" are displayed.

An iron wayside cross bears the inscription on a ceramic plaque: "One who denies God is like one who denies the sun. It won't help him much, since it still shines."

The Luisenbrücke bridge over the Neue Achen river at the outflow of Lake Simssee was rebuilt in spring 2025 for €224,000. Fifteen ten-meter-long oak piles were driven into the swampy ground for this environmentally friendly and sustainable wooden structure in the nature reserve. Fishing boats can pass unhindered under the bridge. The first Luisenbrücke bridge on this site was built in 1969 and renovated in 2001.

The path along the reed-covered shore leads through the "Southern Shore of Lake Simssee" nature reserve. Rest areas with benches are located right by the water every few hundred meters.
