Via the Schmitten hiking trail to the Plettsaukopf Hiking tours

Just a few minutes from the town centre of Zell am See, in the middle of the forest.

The path is very varied. First you cross green meadows, then you go past the Ebenbergalm, through the forest, until suddenly a small clearing appears. Before the path disappears back into the forest, there is a wooden bench with a table to sit on and from there you're halfway there! :-) The second part of the path first goes through the forest, where cheeky squirrels live in the trees, the occasional hare crosses the path and the birds chirp a song over and over again. Fitness is required again on the last, slightly steeper section. Until finally you have to cover the last few meters on a forest road and suddenly, from one moment to the next, you are greeted by an absolute goosebumps moment when the mighty Kitzsteinhorn and the surrounding mountains are reflected on the calm surface of the lake.
