Great hike around the Schwarzensee lake via the Sattelweg trail near the Sattelbach and Schwarzenbach streams

Anyone who knows the Schwarzensee will appreciate the great atmosphere and the cosy walk - it's not unusual to stop off at the end of your walk at the world-famous Lore and its guest garden for a snack and a cup of coffee.

Tolle Wanderung zum und um den Schwarzensee über den Sattelweg

If the short loop around the lake isn't enough for you, you'll get your money's worth here on our route. A great little 3-4 hour hike (depending on your fitness level) to the Schwarzensee invites you to enjoy.
From great views, beautiful forest paths and sometimes rocky passages (for experienced hikers), everything is represented. Normal hikers can cool off in summer and adrenaline junkies can cool off at the turning point - the Schwarzensee lake - at other times of the year.

In Summe steht einer gelungenen Wanderung mit Freunden, Familie und Hunden nichts im Wege – wer mit dem Kinderwagen unterwegs ist, oder weniger geübt ist, sollte die felsigen Passagen meiden und am normalen Waldweg bleiben.

ATTENTION: We expressly point out that we accept no liability for accidents or possibly closed paths. Check the availability of the trail before you set off and check your own fitness.

Access / car park - hiking at the Schwarzensee:

The start of our tour is at the car park at Schwarzenbach 27, 5360 St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut. From here, cross the road and follow the Koomot route that we have created for you. (see below)

Hiking trail and suitability:

In principle, the trail is easy to walk for normal people - but hikers with little fitness or health restrictions will not have much fun here.
For fitter hikers, this is a great route for a great „normal“ hike.

In our opinion, the route is suitable for children and dogs. However, children should already be well on their feet, as a pushchair is difficult to manoeuvre through the rocky paths.

Am Weg zum und vom Schwarzensee sieht man mit etwas Glück wilde Tiere wie etwa Rehe, Hasen, Eichhörnchen, Eidechsen, Schlangen und Blindschleichen. Bleibt man auf den Wegen und stört die Tiere in ihrem Zuhause nicht, dann würden wir den Weg als ungefährlich einstufen.

Auf der Route am Sattelweg entlang findet man Mistkübel wo man Müll, welcher auf der Wanderung anfällt, entsorgen kann. Wir bitten dringend, den Müll auf keinen Fall im Wald zu entsorgen – auch nicht benutzte Taschentücher, oder Klopapier, nach dem Toilettengang hinterm Gebüsch.

Refreshments after the hike at Schwarzensee:

Before or after the Schwarzensee circular trail, you can stop off at the Almstadl guest garden or at the Lore for a cosy snack, with coffee and cake for dessert, and recharge your batteries before the return journey. Well-fed and refreshed, you then return to the car park along the same route.

You can find impressions directly below on the Komoot route and in our picture gallery.
