Active Program: Bike Tour – Seebensee

Bike Tour: Seebensee

Natural Gem: The Gaistal Valley and Seebensee

In 2017, this little paradise was voted the most beautiful place in Tyrol on the TV show “9 Places, 9 Treasures.”

This route is one of the most popular bike trails in the region and winds through the wild and romantic Gaistal Valley. The scenic forest trail, which has only a slight incline, begins at the Salzbach parking lot and runs along the Leutascher Ache, past the Gaistal- and Tillfussalm, all the way to Seebensee (the last kilometer is steep and partly on coarse gravel). Route 551 ends at the junction with Route 813. Follow Route 813 from there to Seebensee. Hikers can find refreshments on the way to the lake at the Seebenalm or, after a short (approx. 50 min) but steep hike, at the Coburger Hütte. There, visitors will find not only regional delicacies but also a breathtaking view of the previously hidden Drachensee, the crystal-clear Seebensee, and the Zugspitze. To return to the starting point/parking lot, take the same path back.

Caution: grazing livestock—please keep your distance and cross the grazing area quietly and quickly.
