Cars: all day
In the village center of Gries, turn south, cross the wooden bridge towards the forest edge. The path leads quite steeply through the forest uphill to the Nissl Alm and intermittently touches the forest road. A more comfortable but longer access to the Alm is via the forest road that turns right at the entrance of the Sulztal. Upon arrival at the Nissl Alm, the path continues behind the Alm to the wonderfully located lake. The path leads just behind the Alm to the west, then steeper over vegetated slopes upwards into the Schönrinnenkar and over two further steps to the lake. Return the same way.
