It's possible to cycle to the hut (with or without electricity). There's really no point in going from the hut to the lake, as it's only a few minutes' walk. You'd have to push your bike to get to the upper lake, which is even less of a benefit.

The Wildbachhütte is very easy to reach, perhaps by hiking or mountain bike. And a wonderful view. Of course with delicious food
