The Plötzigbach Valley is very diverse and easy to hike. Only the ascent to the Anhalter Hut becomes somewhat challenging. In clear weather, you can enjoy fantastic views both from the valley and, even more so, from the heights.

Don't be disappointed if there is no lake at all: it dries up in the summer months when the melting snow no longer feeds it sufficiently.
