Tour description

👣🐾🐾👣Comfortable hike around the Forstsee (601 m) in the Gurktal Alps, Carinthia.

From the “Forstsee” car park it is only a few steps to the lake. In a wonderfully quiet natural setting, we circled the largely natural lake with our Flockerl. In summer, dogs are even allowed to swim here with their people - we'll be back....!
