June 9, 2024,Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn, Oberösterreich 🅿️ Rundwanderung Stausee Klaus über den Fischersteig 🚣 📕 🔴 17

What was so beautiful yesterday was so miserable today. Well, our bear Klaus wanted to go to Klaus and we were in Klaus, around Klaus and around Klaus. The plan was to do a hike marked blue in the hiking guidebook, which is normally an easy category, easy to manage and should not pose any dangers. The signs that were …

Mitn REX to Klaus then the Fischersteig upstream to Pankratz and back on the other side of the reservoir. I liked this direction very much and I was able to stop off at the GH Seeblick as a reward and strengthen myself again. A note is important to me.

Sturdy footwear is essential, and care must be taken not to end …

One more thing: …

September 24, 2021,Teil 2 Fischersteig von Klaus nach St. Pankraz, Hinterstoder Bahnhof

Very varied and, in my opinion, demanding tour, especially the altitude changes constantly you should really be sure-footed and wear suitable footwear. If you don't go over the railway bridge, it will definitely shorten the tour.

Very nice hike, lots of uphill and downhill through the forest. Hinterstoder and Klaus are very easy to reach by train. No car necessary.
