The Fuschlsee circular hiking trail starts at the Fuschlseebad car park in Fuschl am See and runs mostly close to the shore. Near Schloss Fuschl on the west bank and around the outlet of the Fuschler Ache, it moves somewhat farther from the water and passes through a scenic nature reserve. The route is therefore characterised by its proximity to the shore, although not every section runs directly alongside the lake.
Circular Routes and Lakeside Experiences
Another option is the Fuschlsee-Filbling circular tour: it starts and ends in Fuschl am See and goes around Lake Fuschl in a counterclockwise direction. When choosing, you can decide whether to start at the Fuschlseebad car park or take the circular route that starts and ends in Fuschl am See and runs counterclockwise.
The “Fuschl-SEH-Weg” nature trail runs along the north shore; the “Waldandacht” place of tranquillity is also located there. Lake Fuschl is considered the cleanest and clearest lake in the entire state of Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, and its water is of drinking-water quality. The “Fuschlerin” barge service operates only in dry weather and normal wind conditions. Do not plan a trip without taking the weather into account.
The Wesenauer bathing area is on the south shore, a natural beach about a ten-minute walk from Fuschl am See. It is open to visitors from May to September. If a day of swimming is central to your travel plans, check the dates for your specific visit in advance.
Family Trail, Herb Garden and Ruming Mill
The Zwergerlweg is a family-friendly walking trail for visitors of all ages. It passes the herb garden and the Ruming Mill; a story about dwarves can be read aloud or read by children themselves. The walk therefore combines a story with specific stops along the way.
Sophie Brandstätter’s herb garden is on the hiking trail towards the Ruming Mill. It was established in 2002 and contains more than 140 herbs and plants. The Ruming Mill is a watermill built in 1872 and is part of the Ruminggut estate. The garden and the mill offer different highlights: plant diversity on the one hand and a historic watermill on the other.
From May to September, a snack day is held at the Ruming Mill every Saturday from 1 p.m. If you would like to plan your visit around this event, check the date before travelling.
Summer Music and Golf Lessons
The traditional costume music band holds a small concert every Wednesday in summer at the village square in Fuschl am See; the concerts take place only in fine weather. If you would like a concert to be the highlight of your evening, check the date before travelling and bear in mind that it depends on good weather.
The golf academy at Golfclub Waldhof offers lessons from early April to the end of October. You can try golf, take a course to obtain course eligibility or improve your handicap. The offering therefore ranges from a first introduction to working towards a specific learning goal.
