On the occasion of a wood and stone sculptor symposium in 2017 in Bas Bayersoien, the stonemasons had created a sea serpent made of sandstone, which found its place on the Soier See as "Moora". To the delight of many children.

A somewhat bizarre area on the lake shore with a jumble of disused items.

After extensive renovations and a change of ownership, it has now blossomed into a great self-service restaurant for excursions. A large new toilet facility complements the impression. Food and drink vending machines bridge the closing times perfectly. TOP https://fischerhaeusl-bad-bayersoien.de/

The Soyer Mill cannot be visited and has unfortunately not been operated for a long time. Here you can only "retreat inwards". No snack stop, no inviting bench, only a field cross and an inscription on the house wall bear witness that there were once better times here.

The tuff-forming water cascades near the Soyermühle glow in an impressive light green. They bear a strong resemblance to the well-known, strictly protected Schleierfälle cascades on the Ammer near Unternogg (prohibition of entry punishable by fine!!), but are accessible here without great effort and are freely accessible. ;-)

A beautiful lake that can be easily circled. There are many benches to rest on, making it suitable for older people too.

A beautiful vantage point over the town and the lake. Signposted as "Aubichl Viewpoint." Easily accessible via the Trathweg trail.

The Aibichl viewpoint at an altitude of 861 meters offers a magnificent view of Bad Bayersoien and Lake Soier. However, the ascent and descent are quite steep.
