Tips from the Community

Via Del Lupo - Wolfgang

Beautiful path through the fields. Very muddy in places in wet weather. A wide strip of grass runs parallel to the fields. This can be used as an alternative to the muddy track.

If you want to hike around the Behlendorfer See, you should take mosquito spray with you so that you can better enjoy the beautiful hiking trail.
