The route leads from the bathing meadow near Ottenstein Castle to the start of the 7km to Mitterreith and back again.
The unique fjord landscape in the Ottenstein reservoir offers open water swimmers a pure natural experience.
The reservoir is only accessible in a few places and is therefore ideal for exploring by boat, canoe and SUP.
Attention: In 2024 due to increased demand we will open the distance to 40 starting places . There is no accompaning boat available.
