Excursion to Lake Styrian Bodensee
The crystal-clear mountain lake Styrian Bodensee is surrounded by some of the most beautiful summits of the Schladminger Tauern (for example, Hochwildstelle and Höchstein) and is one of the top destinations and most beautiful places in the Enns valley. The 4.5 km long, asphalted panoramic roads (toll road) lead over the Gössenberg into the Seewig valley to the Styrian Bodensee car park (1,143 m). You can easily park your car at the car park and there you find an easy, wheelchair accessible and scenic walk to the lake in about 15 min. Around the lake, leads a forest road and the whole walk takes approximately 50 minutes and the walk is possible for wheelchair users with guide. This path around the Lake Bodensee is an easy and very beautiful walk in an alpine landscape. At the foot of the towering mountains, you will enjoy the romantic mood. Also very impressive is the waterfall near to the Bodensee.

Please use the car park in the parking house at Planai cable car station where you can find an elevator to get to the cable car. The cable car, is suitable for wheelchair users if they bring a foldable chair.

Along the way, there are information boards about flora, fauna and interesting facts about the region, and the funny carvings are also worth seeing.
