Tour description:
Way: From the starting point at the Seehaus hiking car park, take the underpass to the crystal-clear Förchensee. Follow the wide path no. 45 to the junction between the north and south bank paths. We recommend the Norduferweg, which leads through the underpass to an elevated route (former railway embankment). Now walk along the Lödensee and Mittersee (swimming) to the Weitsee car park. On the other side of the B305 you cross a narrow footbridge and reach the bathing area at the Weitsee. At Seefischer Kaser (non-serviced forest service hut) you will find another wide forest path which you follow to the Ruhpolding/Reit im Winkl junction, here you turn left towards Ruhpolding. The varied forest path, which is interrupted by idyllic forest clearings, leads you back to your starting point at Seehaus. Special features: The Förchensee is one of the highest-flowing spring lakes in Germany, its water temperature is around 12C both in summer and in winter, this is where the Traun rises. Because of its beautiful landscape, the 3-lake region Lödensee, Mittersee and Weitsee is affectionately called "Little Canada" by the locals. Tip: The 3-lake area is very popular as a bathing area in summer, and in winter many cross-country skiers romp about on the well-groomed trails. There are bus stops in the Seehaus and at the car parks in Lödensee, Mittersee and Weitsee. With the Chiemgau Card, the bus will take you back to Ruhpolding for free.
