Tour description:

Tourist Information Inzell (Rathausplatz 5) - Alte Säge - Schmelz - Wildenmoos - Weißbach - Weißbachschlucht - Thumsee - Tourist Information Bad Reichenhall (Wittelsbacherstr. 15)

 

From the health resort of Inzell we hike to the old saw and through a small moor area . It continues over lush meadows with comfortably grazing cows , from where you have a beautiful view of the Kienberg (1135 m), the Falkenstein (1181 m) and also back to Inzell . After crossing the village of Schmelz, the stage takes hikers past the Wildenmoos and then on to the Weißbach. This hike is particularly interesting due to its strong connection to salt - there are always information boards and explanations about salt production , the Trift (wood transport over water) and Inzell's salt industry . Consider, for example, surcharge water pipes (to operate the brine pumps) and brine pipes in the field. On the beautiful path along the Weißbach we come to Weißbach on the Alpenstraße and finally reach the wild and romantic Weißbachschlucht .

Then we hike for a while on a hill through the forest, from where we can already admire the wonderful blue of the Thumsee , where we immediately take a break with a view over the lake . Now only one last (strenuous) ascent to the mayoral height separates us from our stage destination Bad Reichenhall .
