Forest, water, and quiet mountain moments
The path starts with a drive to Neuhaus-Schliersee and leads from Josefstaler Straße into Dürnbachwald. It continues to Hachelbach, where numerous waterfalls cascade through Josefstal, giving the hike a particularly nature-oriented character. This section makes the tour a discovery experience for those who want to experience local history and landscape as a unity.

In the footsteps of the Bockerlbahn
A highlight is the route to Stockeralm and further along the Bockerlbahnweg. The historic route served as a narrow-gauge forest railway for timber transport until 1927, adding a strong cultural-historical dimension to the hike. Thus, a mountain tour also becomes a small time travel through the usage and transport history of the region.

Spitzingsattel, Spitzingsee and return journey with panorama
Continuing over Spitzingsattel through the forest, the route then descends to Spitzingsee. Those who wish can circle the lake before the return path leads again to Stockeralm and finally down to Josefstaler Straße. The combination of high trails, lake shores, and quiet forests makes the tour particularly varied.
