There are wonderful walking opportunities from Fuschl with superb panoramic views across the lake from the surrounding peaks and a huge number of marked trails and Nordic walking paths starting directly from the village. A variety of trails around the lake are interspersed with stops at working farms, mills and alms, and there is a great sense of travel with paths to surrounding hamlets and Lake Eibersee, as well as challenging hikes up the Schober Mountain behind the village. Fuschl is well connected by bus to both St. Gilgen and St. Wolfgang for further walks on the Zwölferhorn and Schafberg Mountains.
