Hiking

Contrary to its name, Lake Weissensee enchants you with its Caribbean blue hues amidst steep, pine-green mountain slopes. The exciting hiking trail along the unspoiled northern shore is ideal for a family outing, especially if the children are already at least a little surefooted. In some places, you'll hike right…

September 15, 2025,Nordufer Weissensee bis Dolomitenblick

The tour is from the Roth hiking guide. It's very beautiful and varied, with plenty of opportunities for swimming. Stops for refreshments along the way are possible, as long as it's not a day off. You can either take the ferry along the way or take it first and walk back!

May 28, 2026,Weissensee - Wanderung vom Ostufer

Between Ronacherfels and Kleine Steinwand, the path is only for experienced hikers, as warning signs indicate. It requires sure-footedness and a head for heights, and in some places there are safety ropes to hold onto.

The tour follows the Slow Trail Weissensee weissensee.com/de/Tour/Slow-Trail-Weissensee_t_35042

Hike with a view of the lake and its wonderful colors. We made the return journey by boat, but of course it can also be done the other way round. So much nature, just my thing!

August 2, 2023,Slow Trail Weissensee bis zur Anlegestelle Neusacherhof

Beautiful hike along the lake shore through the forest. Sure-footedness and good shoes are important, as it sometimes goes up and down over roots and stones. But the way is doable. Children (7, 10) liked it up to the Ronacherfels. Then it goes over a wide path past meadows and later over the road past houses. That was the end …

Weissensee, I took the boat from Techendorf to the Dolomitenblick. Then along the lake via Ronacherfels (I can also highly recommend this is a great restaurant) to Neusach. From there with the adventure pass (you get it in the hotel) to Techendorf, then hiked along the waterfront back to Oberdorf.
Was really fun again. 🚶

Today we took the boat from Techendorf to Ortsee. (Unfortunately, the pictures were only attached at the end). We went back via the lakeside path to Neusach. Unfortunately it started to rain and thunder on the way, so we decided to take the bus for the rest of the way. (From here it would have been along the street anyway).

Today a little hike at the Weissensee in Carinthia. The lake already has a Caribbean flair with its turquoise water 🏝 and its white beach 🏖. And then these mountains 🏞 all around, just gorgeous.
