Silent Waters - Hike to Untersee Lake

Short hike through forest with Larch and Swiss Pine trees to Untersee Lake at Reiteralm. Wooden benches invite to stay for a while and to enjoy the scenery.
The trail to Untersee Lake is a beautiful easy hike for families. Starting at Reiteralmsee Lake the hike leads through a clear forest to Untersee Lake. On the way to the Lake you pass by two tarns, where wooden benches invite you to sit down and to enjoy the scenery for a bit. At Untersee Lake you can cross the lake on a wooden float and enjoy the scenery from a viewing platform. Around the lake, several wooden benches invite for a break at the lake. A couple of opportunites to play with the water are waiting for the kids as well.

More information

Take Reiteralmstraße toll road to Gasselhöh'-Hütte on top of Reiteralm.

The starting point for this easy hike is at the mountain station of the Preunegg-Jet at Reiteralmsee. From there, trail no. 66 leads past the lake and then briefly across the alpine meadow. The trail then enters a sparse forest where, after a few minutes, trail no. 66a branches off to the left towards Untersee.

Follow the path downhill over a few hairpin bends until you reach a small lake after a short hike - affectionately called ‘Glackerch’ by the locals. Continue through the sparse forest to another small lake - the Waldsee. Here, an idyllic bench invites you to linger.

After a few minutes' hike, you will finally reach Untersee. The way back is via the same route. However, if you prefer, you can also take the Reiteralm circular route. To do this, simply walk along the shore of the Untersee and ascend the hiking trail to the Reiteralm circular trail on the western shore.

The combination of the hike to Untersee lake with the Reiteralm circular trail or the hike to Spiegelsee lake is particularly beautiful.

Take the bus of Ramsauer Verkehrsbetriebe (Tuesday, Friday and Sunday) from Ramsau and Pichl-Vorberg to the valley terminal of Preunegg-Jet cable-car. From here continue by cable-car to Reiteralm (operating times at www.reiteralm.at).
