In some parts of the route you will find information boards of the theme hike called "Geo-Trail", which starts at the south bank of the Grundlsee and leads via Gößl finally to the Toplitzsee. At the north bank of the biggest lake in Styria, the Grundlsee, we follow the route "VIA ARTIS", which is a kind of learning path informing about artists, who were living or at least appeared somehow in the area.
The Geo-Trail informs its visitors well-represented about the evolutionary history and origin of the Salzkammergut. Millions of years ago a geologic process formed the today's region "Ausseerland-Salzkammergut".
34 information boards guide you through the development of the area. During the walk to the Toplitzsee you will learn about the orogenesis of the local mountains, the Ice Age and its effects to the landscape.
Back at the fishing hut and after a rest we take the way back to Gößl via the path "Reith" where there reminds a monument on the first sight of the archduke with the daughter of a local postmaster at that time. After a path through the forest and again on a graveld road soon you reach Gößl.
Another way back to Gößl leads along the "Toplitz-Parcour" along the river.
In Gößl you can take the way back to the starting point by boat.
Also you can walk along the south bank of the lake via the area "Wienern". First on a taramac street and a graveld road then on a small path we walk along this ways straight ahead untill finally you reach again the "Seeklause".
