Top 5 Easy Hikes with Culinary Delights in Region Seefeld

We start with a very special, almost strange hike. Why strange? Well, you could theoretically call this hike the Three Lakes Hike... but not always!

The starting point is Lake Möserer See, one of the most beautiful spots on the entire Seefeld plateau. Here you can fortify yourself with culinary delights for the hike ahead. From here, however, things get a little crazy. After a cosy section of forest, you will soon see the Lottensee lake. Or maybe not...? That's right, the natural phenomenon of Lottensee doesn't appear every year! Even experts are not sure how this aperiodic lake works. And because a miracle rarely comes alone, there is a second aperiodic lake on this hike.

The circular hike to the Bodenalm proves that you don't have to travel far or climb a mountain to get that real mountain pasture feeling. A relaxed loop starts directly from Seefeld railway station with two really brilliant places to stop for refreshments. Why do I say brilliant? Well, as I'm a big fan of home-made food, I feel like a young calf grazing on an Alpine meadow for the first time. The homemade alpine cheese and the real churned butter at the Bodenalm are the cow equivalent of a lush pasture for me. Admittedly, that sounds a bit dramatic, but all the cheese lovers out there know exactly what I'm talking about.
However, the culinary specialities don't end there at the Bodenalm.

By hike number 3 at the latest, a certain trend becomes apparent: on the Seefeld plateau, an alpine hut rarely comes alone. Especially not in the alpine paradise of Gaistal. There is almost no path there that doesn't lead to a rustic stop-off point. What's more, the Gaistal valley is - without exaggerating - a real natural paradise. The further you go into this marvellous high valley, the clearer it becomes what I mean. Whether you are travelling on foot or by bike, the mostly flat path reveals a new, spectacular view around every bend. The mighty mountain formations, the rippling water and the impressive landscape invite you to pause for a moment and soak up all the impressions. You can do this anywhere along the way and especially on one of the many mountain pastures. With a bit of luck, you can also spot deer, chamois and golden eagles here. They are all at home here. Just like the numerous mountain pastures and their hosts.

Cats are known to have seven lives. But wait, what does that have to do with hiking? Well, anyone who has ever been to the Katzenkopf (cat's head) in Leutasch knows what I'm talking about! It's not just the name that makes it easy to compare the seven lives of a cat with this special place. Here's why: there are (at least) seven ways to experience this summer paradise.

1. hiking: First things first, of course! The leisurely hiking trail to the Katzenkopf can be completed in just under an hour and leads idyllically through the Leutasch forests. 2. chairlift: For those who want to take it easy, there is also the option of taking the chairlift up the Katzenkopf in summer. 3. mountain biking: Just how varied the Katzenkopf really is becomes clear when you look at the biking options. You can conquer the way to the top on various routes by mountain bike, but you can also transport your bike by lift. Which brings us to point four...

The fifth pleasure hike in the group could also be called ‘Seefeld essential’. In just over ten kilometres, you can see and experience (almost) everything that makes Seefeld so special. Arriving by train, the first thing you do is walk through the historic town centre, where numerous shops and places to stop for refreshments await. But there is still plenty of time for this after the circular walk - who wants to lug shopping bags around! Especially when the next stop is the famous Seekirchl. You have to soak up this very special scenery with all your senses. If you fancy a snack break here, you can quench your hunger and thirst in the Sportalm, which is usually flooded with sunshine. Once you've done that, the next steps lead directly across Olympic ground. On the way through the World Cup arena, you can literally feel the great successes of the past and the sporting spirit in the air.
