Seenrunde

A whole day of fun for young and old! You set off for the village of Moosen on the other side of the road from Westendorf. Here you will cycle up a classic steep mountain road to the very first artificial lake, named after the mountain “Hohe Salve”, that you will encounter. These lakes were built for the snow cannons to cover the slopes in winter. Once you have arrived, continue on the road to the next spray lake, the “Salvensee”. Once there, take the route around the Hohe Salve to the Hexenwasser. This is a cool “amusement park” for children, but it offers much more than swings, slides and roller coasters. All kinds of knowledge about animals, physical phenomena or cultural peculiarities are imparted here in a clever way. Plan enough time for the Hexenwasser and don’t forget your swimming costume, because it’s going to be great here! Once you’ve had enough, take the decent to Brixen and then back to Westendorf along the cycle path.

Further up ahead is the Filzalm Lake, here kids (and adults) can play and swim (so don’t forget your swimwear!) From here, follow the path that takes you past the lake to Hochsöll. This beautiful path wanders though the forests and gently takes you downhill to Hochsöll and Hexenwasser (Witches’ Water). The Hexenwasser is a playground for young and old, and another reason to not forget your swimwear! These magical waters and streams should replenish your energy for the second leg of the journey.
