Tour description:

A few meters after the starting point, the Panoramaweg towards Rudersberg awaits you. From this section of the path, you can enjoy fantastic views over Chiemsee, or the Hacken and Rottauer moorlands. On the further way to Farbing, we recommend visiting the Sepp'n-Bauer, which you pass directly. Here you can strengthen yourself for the walk ahead and take a short break. Past Farbinger Hof, follow pleasant field paths along the moor to the walking pool in Rottau. Directly through the moor, a beautiful trail leads you along an old boardwalk from Celtic times. Via the Torfbahnhof Rottau and the Bienenweg, you continue through Rottau back to the starting point.
