Hiking

The Obernberger See lake is nestled in a mighty cirque and surrounded by the peaks of the Stubai Alps. With its crystal-clear, shimmering blue-green water, it is a real eye-catcher and a worthwhile hiking destination. The circular hiking trail is easy and also suitable for families.

Obernberger See

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful divided mountain lake. Interesting chapel in the middle. Good for swimming. The circular path on the southwest side is a mountain path, not a walking path (wooden ladder) but easy to walk.

Very nice hiking trail across the meadows at the Oberreinsalm. Very suitable for inexperienced people and families with small and large children. The views are fantastic.

September 26, 2023,(AT) T, Obernberg am Brenner: Obernberger See

7.7km, 200m. Beautiful tour up to and around Lake Obernberg. Mostly wooded and shady, there is always the opportunity to come to the lake so that 2- and 4-legged friends can cool off.

The start and end point is the large, paid parking lot near Obernberg am Brenner. 3 hours cost €3.5, each additional hour costs €0.5. What's great is …

It's always nice to be here. And this year the lake is so full that it's "overflowing".

Today we hiked a circular trail around Lake Obernberg with a larger group from our neighborhood.

Two teams were out on their mountain bikes again. We met up with one team at the lake, and the two riders hiked around the lake with us.

Relaxing hike to one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Tyrol and the small chapel, which can be reached via a bridge. A great place of power!

On the way to South Tyrol, it is worth taking a short detour to walk around the lake.

Today we're heading out of the Zillertal Valley.

Even the route here along the old Brenner road... spectacular 😂😂👍👍👍
The nature here is stunning ❤️
The lakeside circuit is very varied, with sections where you need to be sure-footed.

If the journey here weren't so long, I'd take even more trails.

Highly recommended
...the Wipptal Valley 👍
