If you are looking for more of a challenge, the Wahrl of the Spechtenseerunde is just right.

From the starting point GH Weitgasser, this trail also first leads over the Fürstensteig in the direction of Stainach, where the first real climb then leads up to the Leistenalm. After a few meters in altitude, you pass directly by the Spechtensee. From there it goes first still over an asphalt section, until it goes again over a forest road in the direction of Aicherlkar. Forest paths, single trails and an alternation of up and down passages lead you past the Aicherlstein.

The last kilometers are a downhill in technically demanding terrain. Narrow single trails lead you through the forest back to the starting point.
