Shrecksee
Hinterstein - Shreksee - Kirchdachsattel - Hinterstein
Route starts from Hinterstein parking. We hiked, but it is possible to take the bus to Kraftwerk Auele, where the trailhead begins. It is a difficult trail with steep inclines with loose rocks and water runoff. It is possible to swim in the lake, and the view from the saddle is really nice.

A lovely circular route that runs mainly through woodland, which can be a welcome relief in hot weather. The first part of the descent is challenging and can be dangerous in wet weather. On the second part of the descent, from the ruins of Erhenberg, keep well to the left so as not to miss the path.
