Route description:

The starting point of the hike is the "Zur Hasenheide" car park, located right next to the Himmelpforter Chocolaterie. The route is marked with a green dot on a white background in a square shape. We walk towards the road and turn left on the opposite side. After a short distance, we reach a wooden sculpture on the straw bridge. It shows a monk carrying a girl wrapped in straw. According to legend, the young lady was to be smuggled into the monastery. You can find out how the story ended on the spot. At this point, follow the hiking trail to the right so that the lake is always on the left. You pass a jetty that is also suitable for canoeists and kayakers. The path leads along the shore. Later on, you meet the hiking trail that leads around the Haussee. Both paths lead together across "Die Schmalung". "Die Schmalung" bridges the connection between Moderfitzsee and Haussee at this point. The two hiking trails then separate again. You reach the small settlement of Pian. The path turns left and continues along a cycle path and track back to the starting point.
