Cycling is prohibited from the parking lot, but as long as you stay on the road to Steirersee and cycle carefully and at a leisurely pace, there will be no problems.

For me, the Märchensee and the Steirersee were the most beautiful lakes on the Tauplitzalm

Easy hike with great views around the Taupliz lakes. The path to the Lawinenstein is a bit steeper, but is rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Grimming, Dachstein and the Totes Gebirg.
