July 12, 2021,Wanderung von Hinterstein zum Schrecksee

Every time you search for the Schrecksee, this tour is offered. Sure, because it's the shorter one. But it is by no means the most beautiful.

There are already many tour descriptions to the Schrecksee, here is another one.
The tour began at the entrance to the Auele bus stop.
Immediately after a few meters with the beginning of the forest, it becomes very steep and impassable.
