Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
On the left shore of the lake we walk along a narrow forest path to the Seewirt (ATTENTION: no longer open) - continue on an asphalt path past the Gut Lindenhof on the north shore back.
In sunny weather, nothing stands in the way of a swim. The Erlaufsee offers bathers a pebble beach, a large sunbathing lawn, 2 slides, footbridges, diving board and a children's playground.

Equipment
Sturdy shoes recommended for the forest trail!Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket. All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top. An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
