The little village of Mattsee, which lies between the lake of the same name and Lake Obertrumer, is a little paradise. The lake facilities are particularly beautiful and the Bavarian village is worth seeing.

The Rupertiweg on the Wallersee is a beautiful section of the eponymous Austrian long-distance hiking trail (No. 10), which stretches from the Bohemian Forest to the Karawanks. In the Wallersee area, this trail shows its particularly idyllic and gentle side.

On the way, you pass an observation tower with a beautiful view of the lake. Birdwatching is possible. Even a flamingo.

A very nice tour (landscape, culture, places to stop for refreshments, etc.). However, there are sections where it is quite steep and goes uphill for a long time and you have to struggle with a "real bike".
