Cycle path at Lake Niedersonthofen

The place name Zellen refers to a former monk's cell. On the lake shore near Zellen there was a parish church called Zellin, the place belonged to Linsen in 1356, as a plaque there indicates (Wikipedia: Niedersonthofner See).

After a short drizzle, we decide to go for a short walk, which then ends with a walk around the lake. Icy wind hits us and we see the snow-covered mountains in the …

There is not much to write about this. Entertaining round around the lake, mostly on gravel paths.

The starting point was the hiking car park at Seehof near Oberdorf. This costs 3€ for the day ticket.
From there always along the shore until you arrive back at the starting point after about 1.5 hours

October 5, 2023,Rund um den Niedersonthofener See

Today we decided on an almost meditative hike, a circumnavigation of Lake Niedersonthofen.
Quiet paths, at first somewhat uniform in the dense forest on the south side of the lake.

But then a beautifully located and very simply designed “house by the lake”.
The seating area there: can you think of a nicer place to drink your coffee?
