Start your hike from the parking lot near at "Merlen", right after passing by an open water reservoir. This place can also be reached by public bus (see link below). We suggest to make a round trip, what means that you ascend very steeply at the beginning westwards, until you reach a high plateau with a creek meandering though it. From there on, you just follow a now slowly ascending path until you reach "Murgseefurggel". Time to rest and enjoy the view: Lake "Oberer Murgsee" lies to your feet. From now on, it only goes downwards (with the path, not the mood!). If you want, you can take the chance to rest a little bit in the Murgseehütte, which also provides rooms to stay for the night. If you descend further, you cross the middle lake and a beautiful waterfall, until you reach the lowest one. The rest of the path leads through beautiful woods, meadows and alps before you get back to your car or the bus.
