There we cross the bridge and walk along the Alm to Fischerau. Here you pass the **Genuss am Almfluss partner businesses Pension Wanderruh and the JUFA Hotel Almtal**. The path runs parallel in the forest along Almseestraße to the next highlight, the**[ Cumberland Wildlife Park](http://www.wildparkgruenau.at/)**The **Cumberland Wildlife Park is** also **a delight at the Almfluss partner business**. A visit is worthwhile and should actually be included in the hiking program. A round in the wildlife park (approx. 5 km) with many shortcut options. Then you can also make good use of the restaurants in the wildlife park (only open to visitors). There is also a large adventure playground for children in the wildlife park. Then follow the path (Konrad-Lorenz-Weg) in the forest and then a short stretch parallel to the road to the turn-off to Hetzau (access to the Ödseen lakes). Cross the wooden bridge there and then turn right, from there the path leads back along the alpine pasture and through the forest to the Almsee lake. Past the mouth of the **Almsee**, you walk along the eastern shore, past the **Viscope**, from which you can enjoy a great and informative panoramic view of the Tote Gebirge, to the parking lot at the Seehaus. Continue a little further to the **Echoplatzerl**, above which you will find the **hanging chairs** where you can enjoy the view and the echo. The path is a little steep here and the gravel makes the ascent a little difficult! ### Tip: A hike around the Almsee / length 6 km / duration 1.5 hours. ### We recommend doing the hike during the week and using public transport to get there.
