Höllensteinsee Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

A unique view of Lake Höllenstein. Caution is advised when it's wet! Those with less than surefootedness should use poles. The trail is definitely not suitable for mountain biking!

This is not an easy hike. Surefootedness is absolutely required.

Höllstein Lake

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake, nestled in a narrow valley. The stairs at the dam are only suitable for pedestrians... Cyclists must take the hiking trail above the inn to the river, then an easy-to-ride path leads to the Blaibacher See.

Nicely located kiosk with a beer garden and a view of the Höllensteinsee and the hydroelectric power station. Very nice staff and delicious snacks. There are new high-tech pedal boats …

Beautiful path with different soil conditions and beautiful views.

You can safely skip the detour to the Gasthof Miethaner (in Höllenstein - see also the picture with the information sign - "coffee and cake"). The "restaurant" there has probably closed due to wealth and is available "only for hotel guests".
