A wonderful hike along the Styrian Bodensee with breathtaking views of the Hüttensee and the Hochwildstelle.
This varied hike is one of the most beautiful excursion destinations in the Schladminger Tauern and combines idyllic nature with an impressive mountain backdrop. The starting point is the car park in the Seewigtal, which can be reached via a toll mountain road from Ruperting near Haus im Ennstal or via Aich/Gössenberg.

More information

Ennstalbundesstraße (B320) - exit: Ruperting (near Haus im Ennstal) or Gössenberg - follow the respective toll road into the Seewigtal valley.
 
Via Ruperting near Haus im Ennstal or Aich/Gössenberg, we reach the parking lot in the Seewigtal valley via a toll road. We walk for about 15 minutes on a wide path along the stream to the Steirischer Bodensee. Once at the end of the lake, the trail continues via the ascent with the number 782, which leads over a waterfall to the Hans-Wödl-Hütte at the Hüttensee. The hut is about 1 hour's walk above the Steirischer Bodensee and is therefore an ideal destination for a day trip. After the hike, we can enjoy the view of the Hüttensee and the Hochwildstelle from the terrace and fortify ourselves with the farm's own delicacies of beef, pork and brook trout. The hut is also a great starting point for crossings and high alpine tours. The way back is via the same route and from the Steirischer Bodensee/Seewigtal parking lot you can take the 976 Steirischer Bodensee bus back through Weißenbach bei Haus to Haus im Ennstal or to Schladming.

A leisurely rowing boat trip on the Steirischer Bodensee is also highly recommended.

between the end of May and mid-October: Planaibus (line: Schladming - Haus - Steirischer Bodensee)

otherwise no arrival by public transport possible.
