Offensee

Highlight • Lake

The round around the Offensee on forest. Pleasant, easy hike in the shade. Almost always along the lake, only about 2km are on asphalt through the forest, mostly in the shade. The home station is ideal for refreshment and strengthening.

A very nice walk around the lake, with a snack station. The homemade cake was delicious 😋

On our last day in Austria we had rather bad weather and decided to do this small but very nice circular route. The water of the lake was crystal clear again and consistently reflected the wonderful mountain panorama. The sun even came out for a short time.

Very nice, but very short.
Now it's off to the feuerkogel with the cable car for a little round

Yesterday morning a wonderful little round around the Offensee in Upper Austria was on the plan.
Actually planned for sunrise, the sun was unfortunately unable to fight its way through the thick fog. And so there were atmospheric, a little mystical pictures, okay too ☺️

After we are once again in Upper Austria with our grandson and the weather was quite nice today, we decided to make a trip to the Offensee (near the Traunsee). The lake is very beautiful and is surrounded by quite high mountains. The loop isn't very long, but our two-year-old granddaughter walked almost the entire loop and didn't want to …
