It is accessible via **hiking trails** and is part of the **3-Lakes Tour** with traditional **platter rides**. The **Toplitzsee** is located east of the **Grundlsee** in the district of **Gößl** in the Styrian municipality of **Grundlsee** and is a popular excursion destination in the **Ausseerland**. The **lake** is set in the nature reserve **Totes Gebirge** and is characterized by its pristine nature and special hydrological properties. From the **parking lot** in **Gößl**, two hiking trails about 1.6 kilometers long lead to the **lake**: either through the village of **Gößl** along the Gößler Wand or via a forest path with a detour to the Ranftlmühle. The paths are closed to public traffic but accessible to **pedestrians** and **cyclists**. At the **Toplitzsee**, excursions with traditional **wooden boats**, known as **Plätten**, are offered. These allow for further travel to the **Kammersee** as part of the **[3-Lakes Tour](https://www.ausseerland.at/en/touren)**. The **lake** is known for its special stratification: at about 20 meters deep, the water is oxygen-free and has an increased salt content. These conditions cause the water to appear dark. Near the **Toplitzsee**, there are additional tourist attractions such as the **Kammersee** and the **Geo-Trail Grundlsee**.
