In Juns, coming into the valley, the mountain road to Oberjuns branches off to the right before the house Tomann No. 545. Keep going uphill in the direction of Hintertux and follow the signpost Stoankasern. In several hairpin bends on the alpine path to the mountain cheese dairy Stoankasern/Junsberg. From the mountain cheese dairy Stoankasern follow the MTB route "Bike & Hike Junssee/Junsjoch" further to the next fork. Then continue straight on until you reach the Bike & Hike parking lot. From here you can continue hiking to the Junssee and enjoy the silence at the Junssee. Back you follow the same path to Stoankasern and back to the valley to the starting point.

Author’s recommendation

The Junsee lakes are a natural spectacle of a special kind. At cooler temperatures it can even happen that you meet snow.
