Very beautiful lake, easy to walk around. It is also worth extending to the "old lake". The view of the steep mountain face is sensational.

From Anna-Schutzhasu, 10 minutes on foot to the Ederplan summit cross. Even for an eMTB, a short, very steep final climb - but very worthwhile. The last 700 meters to the hut are a bad, trail-like road, the first 300 meters of which are very steep.
