In summer you can take a leisurely stroll from the mountain station of the Höss Express chairlift to the reservoir in just a few minutes. From here there are further hikes and you are enchanted by the mountain scenery. The mountain range of the Prielgruppe in the Dead Mountains, together with the Schafkogelsee, offers a kitschy backdrop.
