Departure from the boat 🚤 is 4 p.m., be there 30 minutes before. Ticket online or at Camping.handy was empty so the last 1.5 km were missing

Since no boats 🚤 run in September (on weekdays), we had to figure out how to get back to the car.
In the last photo, I have attached the map. We walked about 23 km in total and hitchhiked the rest.
On the map, there are red and blue lines; we walked the red ones and rode the blue ones. …

First take the boat to the other side of the lake, then follow everyone in a goose march towards the first suspension bridge. Then follows a very muddy path over the mountain to the second bridge. There is a lot of wind on the bridges and you should not be afraid of heights. Then the long route back.

Wonderful place!
Reasonable attendance. The paths are perfectly marked.
Only the boat crossing is a bit laborious because no one is there. You have to wait for the return of the boat.
