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.

A very nice bike tour with a length of approx. 30 km along the Glockner bike path. It is an easy bike tour with only a few meters in altitude, the landscape is also beautiful, there are many passages next to the forest or in the forest, you ride next to the Möll and there is a lot of variety. There are also a few rest stops along the way, such as the Seehäusl, Seestandl, the Gasthof zur Raggaschlucht or the Glen Bothy whiskey bar. The Ragga Gorge and the Groppenstein Gorge can also be found along the way.
