The five stages of the "Salzkammer Trail" lead you through a fascinating landscape which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. First of all the "Route through the wilderness" "leads you from the Koppenrast inn at Obertraun along the Koppentraun to the Sommerbergersee (lake). This stretch takes around 4 hours.
