From Bruck to Zell am See

From the historic station building in Bruck, the route leads along Bahnhofsstraße, turning right once, passing the Gothic church into the town center and crossing the „Glocknerbrücke“ over the Salzach. At the kilometer stone „0“ the route runs to the left and 100 m later, shortly ascending slightly, to the right (path 1, WiesenKönigReich).  Fischhorn Castle appears far away, but path 1 meets the country road and follows this on the right side for 1.3 km until the turn-off to the Thomas-Bernhard-Weg („Lake circuit route“) to the left. The adjoining wetland area called „WiesenKönigReich“ is a valuable, 220 ha large natural area for amphibians, ground-nesting birds and migratory birds. More than 160 bird species have already been sighted. The district of Schüttdorf adjoins the nature reserve; the route now follows Karl-Vogt-Straße and turns right to the lakeshore. After 1.2 km, Hans Weyringer’s animal figures made of green serpentine enchant, as well as the direct access to Zell am See station branching off here.      

By REX or S 3 to Bruck/Glocknerstraße – Fusch station. Return from Zell am See station.
