Its a natural spectacle for the whole family. At the lake you have a beautiful view to the "Gosaukamm".** The hike begins at the Schleifsteinhauerhütten. From here, the trail leads through a small wooded area before we reach the moor, which is covered with Löckern. Here, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking view across the raised bog toward the majestic Gosaukamm. The trail takes us along a wooden boardwalk through nature, past Lake Löckensee. The loop trail is easy to hike and suitable for families with children. During the summer months, the Gosau Scenic Train runs weekly on Tuesdays to the Schleifsteinhauerhütten. Register at the Gosau Tourist Information Office.

And it truly is! But be warned! You really have to earn this view with a brisk hike! You can reach the Löckenmoos **on foot** from Gosau **in 2 to 3 hours**. There are several routes to the summit: Mittertal: On the opposite side of the Hotel Sommerhof, Schäffergasse leads uphill. At the end of the street, at the edge of the forest, hiking trail 511 to Löckenmoos begins. IMPORTANT!!! You’ll find parking spaces right next to the main road—Hornspitz lift parking lot Hintertal: Start at the Hintertal forest road. Then switch to hiking trail 644, which also takes 2 to 3 hours to reach Löckenmoos. The hiking trails offer beautiful walks along well-marked paths through the forest. Appropriate hiking gear, such as sturdy, supportive footwear, is required. A shuttle bus (for groups of 4 or more) or the Gosau Scenic Train (for groups) to the Schleifstein quarries can be booked with Markus Gamsjäger at +43 664 2042321. You can also book a guided hike along the Löckensee Loop with Betty Jehle at +43 0650 6366177. Please note that even the available lifts cannot go all the way to Lake Löckensee.
