Description:
Since the area around the Vilsalpsee has been designated as a nature reserve for over 50 years and is also a Natura 2000 area, this hike has a special charm.Starting point and also end point is the inn directly at the Vilsalpsee. Counterclockwise, past the Fischerstube over the bridge, you will head towards Weltlingalpe. The gravel path, wide and easy to walk on, runs on this side of the lake exactly on the shore. At the rear end of the lake is the farmed Vilsalpe. From here a circular path leads to the beautifully situated waterfall "Bergacht". Back it goes again over the Vilsalpe and on the same side of the shore to the starting point, because the last section of the eastern shore between power station and Vilsalpe is closed because of the danger of falling rocks.

 



Directions:
From the car park along the west bank to the Vilsalpe, on to the Bergacht waterfall and back to the starting point.

Tip:
Worth seeing fauna and flora along the entire route.

Safety guidelines:
It should be noted that in mountaineering there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries. Despite careful route planning, a basic risk always remains. Tour preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and further education as well as personal prudence reduces the danger of accidents and risks. However, please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. Stay on the marked hiking trails.

 



Equipment:
The personal mountaineering equipment must be safe and serviceable and meet the relevant technical standards. Every hiker is recommended to obtain information about the planned tours from specialist alpine literature or on site.
