From the Rippeteck, a path leads you down a fairly steep descent to the **Gasselseen lakes**. The first is the **Obere Gasselsee** , also known as the "**Obersee"**. The path takes you to the **middle Gasselsee**, the famous **"Spiegelsee"** with a reflection of the Dachstein. From **the Spiegelsee**, the trail leads you back to the starting point. **Variant via Schober:** In the **Obersee** area, a path branches off towards the 3rd summit called **Schober**. Starting point approx. 1,920 mSH. Allow approx. 1 hour for the steep ascent and descent. The summit of the Schober is at approx. 2,133 mSH. **Variant via Untersee:** Halfway from the **Spiegelsee lake**, a variant via the **Untersee lake** and the **"Stille Wasser"** theme trail is possible (takes approx. 30 to 40 minutes longer). **Please note:** sure-footedness and good footwear required!
