View Hohe Gloriette over Wörthersee
Pörtschach is undoubtedly home to one of the most beautiful resting points on the Wörthersee circular hiking trail: the "Hohe Gloriette". The striking rocky outcrop with its unmistakable viewing platform not only offers a wonderful view of Lake Wörthersee and the Pörtschach peninsula, it is also the end point of the Brahms Trail with an audible surprise!
The following section to Forstsee before Velden probably deserves the description "over hill and dale" like no other along the route. Deep, earthy-smelling hollow paths alternate with rooty paths, rocky hilltops with soft fields, narrow, damp paths with wide forest tracks.
The Forstsee lake is the last major highlight of the circular trail. The sun-drenched lake lies quietly and romantically on the plateau above Velden and brings a grateful smile to the faces of hikers along the flat sections of the trail. After a very short uphill section, the path slopes down to the Römerschlucht gorge and the destination of Velden. Regardless of whether you take the Wörthersee circular hiking trail as a leisurely multi-day tour or complete it in one go during the hiking events, its unique flair, unforgettable views and countless enchanting places inspire people who hike it at any time of year!
The Forstsee is a popular naturist bathing area in the summer months!
