June 9, 2024,Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn, Oberösterreich 🅿️ Rundwanderung Stausee Klaus über den Fischersteig 🚣 📕 🔴 17
What was so beautiful yesterday was so miserable today. Well, our bear Klaus wanted to go to Klaus and we were in Klaus, around Klaus and around Klaus.

Mitn REX to Klaus then the Fischersteig upstream to Pankratz and back on the other side of the reservoir. I liked this direction very much and I was able to stop off at the GH Seeblick as a reward and strengthen myself again. A note is important to me.

Very nice hike, lots of uphill and downhill through the forest. Hinterstoder and Klaus are very easy to reach by train. No car necessary.
