Directions:
From the first parking there are just few steps on the cycle path which brings you straight to the Grundlsee in few minutes. After the Seehotel at a narrow point we turn to the left upwards. 150 meters further up you reach the path which leads hightened parallel to the street along the lake to the east. On graveled and taramac we carry on walking this way without turning. In the area called "Gaiswinkel" at the taramac road first we turn left and then again right. Passing the local carpenter "Amon" we take the small road to the left and follow this until we are at the gravel pit. There is located the big fish farm of the Austrian Federal Forestry Company. Further we carry by following the signs to Gößl, where at the roundabout we turn to the right. Reaching the tradtional inn "Gasthof Veit" the graveld road brings us to the Toplitzsee. At the fishing hut there is the landing for boats in order to take a journey to the Kammersee.
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".
