Trip description
Parking lot Großer Montiggler See to the Seeschlössl
We start directly at the parking lot of the Montiggler See, not far from the Montiggler Lido and first follow the road back in the direction from which we came. Here we can enjoy a first view of the Great Montiggl Lake. On the right side, after a short while, a path turns off towards the lake and leads directly over a bridge through the reeds. Those who can comfortably cross the footbridge here with a wheelchair can also use this route.
However, we continue along the road to the Garden Hotel Moser. Some of you may know the hotel as a popular training location for the German national football team. A little after the hotel we turn left and follow the road a little further before turning left again in the direction of the Großer Montiggler See. Up to now the whole way was asphalted. But now, turning left, we follow the circular hiking trail, which leads over forest soil. In some places the path is a bit narrow here and you should drive slowly and prudently along it. After about 5 minutes we reach the Seeschlössl, which rises out of the reeds like a fairytale castle.
From the Seeschlössl back to the parking lot
From now on, the path is relatively wide and we can comfortably follow it once around the lake. There are viewpoints at various points. Here it is worthwhile to take a break and possibly have a snack. The view of the lake is most beautiful from the north side. No miracle therefore that here with good weather many people cavort. In addition, you will find benches to linger and the children use the rocks for daring jumps into the cool water.
On the west side of the lake, the path becomes a little steeper, but remains well developed. Should you be on the road without a traction motor, a pushing aid is advisable here at one or the other point. However, the trail does not climb more than 12 %. The last part of the route leads past the sunbathing lawns of the Lido and behind one of the buildings back to the car park.

An accompanying person is only required for the short section behind the Gartenhotel Moser to the Seeschlössl (due to the narrow width of the path and the busy oncoming traffic) and for somewhat steeper passages on the west side of the lake.
