Trail Along Lödensee and Mittersee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Easy path along the Löden and Mittersee. Without much technical challenge, you can enjoy the trail in virtually any weather. On the route between Ruhpoling and Reit im Winkl, or vice versa, this is a very nice alternative to the road.

Mittersee Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There's some pretty tasty food here, but unfortunately it's only open in winter. Of course, it's pretty nice here in summer too.

Beautifully situated in the winter sun. Reachable from the Lödensee car park in about 30 minutes. Enjoy goulash soup or cake and the view over the glittering Mittersee. Don't start the trip too late in winter, otherwise you won't catch any sun.
