SOS-EU-Alp App

The SOS EU ALP app allows you to determine your location (x,y coordinates) via your smartphone. In an emergency, this location data can be sent directly to the responsible control center (Tyrol, South Tyrol or Bavaria).

Important Information

In winter, the forest path on the south bank can be difficult to walk on when there is a lot of fresh snow or a risk of black ice due to weather conditions. Suitable footwear, spikes and walking sticks are recommended.

The paved path on the north bank is easily accessible all year round.

Description

The starting point of this circular winter hike is on the eastern shore of Hintersteiner See at Café Restaurant Seestüberl. From there, follow the paved trail no. 822 along the northern shore, passing Jausenstation Goingstätt and continuing to Pension Maier. Along the way, enjoy beautiful views of the wintry, often frozen lake. Shortly before Pension Maier, turn left and follow the signs towards Seestüberl on trail no. 822 until you reach the forest path along the southern shore.
