August 21, 2022,Wanderung/ runde um den thumsee,schwimmen im thumsee und zwergerlweg

Today's plan was to walk a nice lap around Lake Thumsee... stopover, swim, crystal clear, pleasant temperature... we continued along the Zwergerlweg towards Bad Reichenhall... it seemed much longer to us than described. My daughter has the individual gnome houses
(5 years) advanced. Curiosity won. Nice tour for big and small.

Was a nice tour.
But you have to be sure-footed at the beginning.

Part of the "Zwerglweg" route is very successful and certainly attractive for small children, but it is quite long and cannot be managed continuously with prams or bicycles. Can hardly be shortened, since a number of byways are closed due to danger.

September 16, 2025,Reichenhaller Zwergerlweg - Thumsee - Runde ab Bad Reichenhall

🌧️ We started after a night of rain – and we noticed it immediately in the first section: The roots and stones in the forest were quite slippery. Concentration was required here! Despite the damp conditions and only occasional sunshine, the hike was just the thing for a relaxing day before our longer tour tomorrow.

Deep blue skies, summer warmth, and a lake—what more could you need?

Today was another German-Austrian hike. A friend from Munich with her Germany ticket and I with my Austrian climate ticket met in Bad Reichenhall for a hike arranged last minute yesterday—and neither of us had to pay for transportation. We visited places she hadn't been to during her …

August 21, 2023,Plantschen im See, Thumsee to Bad Reichenhall

In this African heat there are only two things to do: splash around in the cool water or climb the mountains. Today we went into the refreshing water of Thumsee, then followed the Zwergerl & Soleleitungsweg to the large district town of the Berchtesgadener Land district in the Upper Bavaria administrative region. The town of Bad Reichenhall looks back on …
