Lake Förchensee

Highlight • Lake

The Forchensee invites you to linger, especially when the sun is shining. The play of colors in the water, depending on the position of the sun, is very impressive.

Seekopf Summit

Highlight • Summit

Nice view of the Lödensee, Mittersee and the Weitsee. The view of the Hörndl and the distant Kaisergerbrige is also worth the tour.

May 2, 2025,Förchensee - Seekopf (1173 m) - Blick Klein-Kanada ☀️🥵🙌🏻

It was supposed to be a short, easy hike in the afternoon; the sun was burning mercilessly. The climb up a rooty T3 trail requires a good level of fitness. I was quite out of breath in the heat, but the others didn't seem to mind. At the Seekopf summit, we were rewarded with a magnificent view of Little Canada. …

I heard that there is supposed to be an old and dilapidated path from the Seekopf to there. I found him too, but since it started …

Great tour, the ascent is quite steep, up to 40%, but only 1 hour. At the summit there is a great panoramic view of the mountains and the three lakes (called Little Canada). The way back, on the other hand, is leisurely.
