This path takes you to the road along Lake Achensee. You can still walk this section with a stroller until you reach the first bench by Lake Achensee. From there, the path becomes narrower and uneven, with stones and steps.

A great day trip for the whole family. Refreshments are available at the Schwarzachtal snack bar (approx. 45 minutes' walk away).

A truly wonderful, rustic alpine hut with very welcoming hosts, delicious food, and homemade cakes. In summer, there's a Sunday morning pint with well-known bands from the Zillertal and Pinzgau regions. The approximately 45-minute hike from the Schwarzachtal forest parking lot leads through idyllic nature along the Schwarzach stream and is suitable for young and old.
