The trail is very beautiful and versatile leading around the entire reservoir lake. Main starting points are the villages of Klaus and Kniewas. It is possible to enter the circular hiking trail of the Klaus reservoir at many other points as well. The most important ones are: Hofwiese, former Voest settlement (at the lime factory), train station Steyrling or Hinterstoder. The trail is labeled as "Fischersteig" all the way with blue-white markings. Please beware of steep embankments every now and again and watch carefully over children. Trail-Nr: "Fischerweg" Walking time: 5 - 7 hrs.
