From the Alpengasthof Grimmingblick via the path to the high plateau and the path further to the Kothüttensee. Same way back.
At Gasthof Grimmingblick you start out, first over the stony path - some would also call it "Bergbacherl" - to the plateau. Continue past high mountain pine fields until you see it on the left in the reed bed: Lake Kothüttensee. A feast for the eyes.
