Directions

From the rear parking lot at Winner Ufer, I start at the tourist information center where I pick up hiking flyers, and walk past the Seewies café below. Opposite the street, I see a campsite, but continue to the right over the dam. Even here, I could take a short break on one of the benches and enjoy the lake view. But my path continues along the lake, below the village of Stahlhofen a.W. From the old DLRG hut, I stroll in the shade of the trees and later follow a longer straight stretch below the road to Pottum. Here I must be careful because the path is also popular with cyclists. Shortly after, I have a choice: at a fork, a natural path leads through the shade of the trees. Here I cross the small Hüttenbach that flows into the lake. Or I decide on the left path, which goes over bitumen and then at the parking lot before Pottum turns right again to the "Kleiner Wäller".

In Pottum, I stock up at the bakery and butcher for a picnic and save the restaurants for another time. Instead, I continue to the sailing harbor and from there on a paved path always along the lake. After a few meters, I take a break at a lawn with a kiosk and then watch the dogs playing and the surfers at their station. I continue following the signpost, walk to the right and over a bridge crossing the Seebach. I follow the ascending farm road for 300 meters and then turn right again. Then I walk slightly uphill. On both sides of the path, I see some fairways of the 18-hole golf course as well as the clubhouse on the left and then a hotel on the right.

Shortly before the intersection, I take the footpath to the right between the trees towards the WällerLand Tourist Information at Wiesensee, whose wooden building can be seen on the right. I find some souvenirs and regional products here. Relaxed, I sit for a while longer in the hiking swing at the parking lot and enjoy the lake view before starting my journey home.
