May 26, 2022, Parking Area With Scenic View of the Lake and Mountains

Two routes start right at the parking lot. The place is very popular and it is possible that you have to switch to similar parking spaces a little further ahead or behind.

A gravel path leads from a parking lot to the summit. The ascent is quite steep in sections, but the effort is worth it, because the view from the summit is outstanding!
