***Along the Pießling to the idyllic Gleinkersee***
From the car park, take trail 293 past the Schröckenfux scythe factory to the Pießling spring. Watch the water gush out of the mountain here.
Walk back along the path and cross the bridge on the right in the forest. You will reach the road, which you follow to the forest. Walk to the former Tommerl inn, turn left there and you will see the frozen Gleinkersee lake.
Back to Roßleithen, first take the tarmac road downhill and after the short section of forest, turn left onto path 15. Follow the road past the farms to the starting point.
**TIP:**
Take your time and walk a leisurely loop around the Gleinkersee lake.
