Description: A wonderful hike for the whole family. See for yourself, in the nature reserve Vilsalpsee a fantastic landscape is waiting for you. The hike to the Oberen Traualpe is not difficult but a little bit strenuous. But it is definitely worth it.
Directions: We start from the nature reserve Vilsalpsee. We hike along the western shore back to an unmanaged alpine pasture. Here we follow the signs Traualpe/ Lansberger Hütte. The path leads us first a little through the forest, before we cross the free pasture area several times. The gradient gradually becomes steeper but harmless. After some time we walk along the rock face. When we arrive here the path is not far. When we reach the top, a magnificent mountain panorama opens up. In front of us the Traualpsee and behind it rocky and pointed mountains. Simply wonderful.
Highest point: 1,641 m
Endpoint: Vilsalpsee
