    The circular path around Trübsee is ideal for everyone who wants to go at a leisurely pace – whether with a stroller, little explorers, or just to enjoy quietly. On the well-maintained path, you will find a breathtaking backdrop with views of the mountain and the lake.

    Our tip: Pack some cervelat sausages or bratwursts! Around the lake, idyllic fire pits invite you to grill in the middle of nature – perfect enjoyment with an Alpine panorama included.

    A visit to the rustic Hüethütte, the cozy Alpstübli, or the Berghotel Trübsee is definitely worth it!
