Take a country lane out of the village passing our local cable car and
follow a small river to the lake of Langbathsee. This is one of the most
stunning lakes in the area and is often used as a backdrop for TV adverts
and films. You can take a swim in the crystal clear waters and relax on the
lakeshore with a drink from the café. From here you can either return

the first few miles today. Take our local train to the historic town
