Hardtrunde (kurz)

The leisurely walk starts at the bathing area on the northern shore of Dietlhofer See. Here you can take a short break to enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama. An idyllic footpath takes you through the shore area of the lake, which is overgrown with reeds, bushes and trees. After crossing the road to Dietlhofen, the trail leads along roads lined with avenues, first in a north-easterly direction, then over the Rauhbühl in a southerly direction. Leave the road at the point where it bends 90 degrees to the left. The route now follows forest paths for a short distance through the forest until it reaches open terrain again at the turn-off to Dietlhofen. The path finally leads back to Dietlhofer See lake across extensive fields and meadows. Here you can round off the walk with a leisurely stop or a dip in the cool water.

Author's tip: A detour to Gut Dietlhofen with its farm store is well worthwhile!
