Coming from Scharnstein in the direction of Pettenbach the other way round! We ask for your understanding! **Riverside delights** - “Genuss am Almfluss” is a walking tour through the Almtal valley **Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting** ---------------------------- Starting at the **Almspitz near Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting** (still in the municipality of Fischlham), turn left coming from Edt bei Lambach after the Traunbrücke bridge and immediately left again to get to the Alm, follow the Alm to the first bridge (pedestrian), then follow the side road to the Almeggbrücke bridge. From there you have the possibility to get to the center of **Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting** , where you will also find the **boarding point** at the Vorchdorferbahn station with parking. The **Genuss am Almfluss partner businesses Mostschenke Huemer** and **Gasthof Dickinger** as well as the two **museums Freilichtmuseum Hackenschmiede** and the **Tempus, Museum of Archaeology** are also located here. From the Almeggbrücke bridge, you walk along the Alm through the beautiful alluvial forest to the mouth of the Laudach. The next train stop is only about 500 meters away (AU stop). Here you have to follow the course of the Laudach river a little to the bridge, cross it and then follow the river again to the Alm and back to **Vorchdorf**. **Vorchdorf** ------------- Pass the district of Haresau and continue upstream along the alpine pasture until you reach the gravel works. Follow the access road for a short distance until just before the Mühltal highway bridge, where the path leads up the slope to the right. (Go through a pedestrian and cycle underpass under the highway, past a nice housing estate to the road. Cross the road (please take care) and follow the signs through the forest. After approx. 500 meters turn right until you come out at the Vorchdorf sports field. Stay on this side of the road and cross the road at the crosswalk next to the traffic circle and then turn left towards the church and you are at the Schlossplatz in Vorchdorf. The **Genuss am Almfluss partner business Hoftaverne Ziegelböck** is only a 2-minute walk away. Cross the Schlossplatz in the direction of the Laudach bridge and turn left after the bridge and follow the path along the Laudach. Shortly after the outdoor pool, cross the footbridge over the Laudach. From here you can also reach the **Vorchdorf-Eggenberg train station** in just 2 minutes, where you have connections to the Stern & Hafferl train lines to Lambach and Gmunden. There are also plenty of parking spaces in Vorchdorf (e.g. Schwarzlmüller parking lot directly at the Laudach bridge after the Schlossplatz). After the footbridge on the right you reach the **Vorchdorf rest area**. Enjoy the moment and take a seat in one of the wooden spoons. Then continue along the Laudach, cross the road and follow the path to the **Schloss Eggenberg brewery**, the next **partner company of Genuss am Almfluss**. Before the brewery, turn left, right next to the entrance up the hill. Follow the path in the direction of Pappelleiten/Einsiedling. Shortly before Pappelleiten, cross the road again and head down towards Alm. Following the path, you come to the road after a nice stretch along the alpine pasture. There is a parking lot directly opposite, which you could also use for a stage hike. Follow the road briefly, then turn left over the bridge to Eggenstein, a district of **Pettenbach**. **Pettenbach** -------------- After the bridge, turn left along the alpine pasture for a good distance until you reach the **Kronawettwehr power station, a partner company of Genuss am Almfluss**. Right next to it is the **Pettenbach massage rest area**, which you can use to relax and pamper yourself. A special parking lot has also been created here so that you can visit the show power station and the active rest area directly. **Note on the connecting path from the center of Pettenbach to Almburg**, which is also dotted on the Genuss am Almfluss map. This connection is intended as a hiking trail. There **are no parking facilities in the Almburg area**! Therefore, please use the parking lot at the power station or directly at the train station in Pettenbach (or arrive by train). **And please also watch out for the factory traffic from the numerous sawmills along the hiking trail!** The trail then continues along the alpine pasture, with one or two alpine wave loungers waiting to be taken up by you. Almost at the end of the village of Pettenbach at Steinbach Brücke, you have the opportunity to get to the boarding point at the **Steinbach-Brücke train stop** of the Almtalbahn, again just 5 minutes from the trail. In the neighboring village of Steinbach am Ziehberg you will find the **Genuss am Almfluss partner company Ferienhaus Schwarzenbach.** **Detour information**: Between Steinbach bridge and the Schatzlmühle in Viechtwang, the route is currently on the road with little traffic (also the Almtal cycle path R13). We will let you know as soon as this detour is no longer necessary. We ask for your understanding! **Scharnstein** --------------- The trail continues along the alpine pasture in the direction of Schatzmühle near **Viechtwang**. The **Schatzlmühle campsite is also a partner of Genuss am Almfluss**. Passing the sports field, you come to the **low ropes course, the active rest area of Scharnstein**. There is also a rest area with Alpine wave loungers right next to the Alm. Continue along the alpine pasture until shortly before the large **Scharnstein** alpine bridge. There you can take a detour into the village, or you can continue on and carefully cross the railroad line. From here it is only 2 minutes to the **Scharnstein-Mühldorf train stop.** Cross the footbridge to the next **partner company of Genuss am Almfluss, the Geyerhammer scythe museum**, which you are very welcome to visit. Continue along the alpine pasture to the next train stop, Kothmühle. From there you have the option of hiking in the direction of **St. Konrad**, where you will find the **Genuss am Almfluss partner farm Pührethof**. On the way there you will find the Genuss am Almfluss **partner business Gasthaus Taverne Thann**. **Grünau in the Almtal valley** -------------------------------- Follow the path along the alpine pasture to the next alpine bridge. Here you have the opportunity to take a short detour to the beautiful Wieselmühlweiher pond and spend the night at the **Genuss am Almfluss partner business Forellenhof Wieselmühle**, for example. Continuing in the direction of **Grünau im Almtal**, you pass the **Redlmühle power station**, where there is a wooden bull sculpture worth seeing. From the Almwellenliege you also have a fantastic view of the mountains of the Totes Gebirge. Continue along the alpine pasture to the next bridge, where you can take a culinary break at **Landgasthof Schaiten, a Genuss am Almfluss partner business**. The route continues to the center of Grünau im Almtal, where the tourist office is located. In the village, you also have the option of spending the night at one of the many **Genuss am Almfluss partner businesses, such as Pension Kasbergblick, Urlaub Am Bauernhofbetrieb Sportlerhof or Sporthotel Grünau Wimmergreuth**. The trail continues through the village, then left over the village footbridge. From there it is 2 minutes to Grünau im Almtal station. The path continues to the left, past the **Genuss am Almfluss partner business Romantikhotel Almtalhof**. There we cross the bridge and walk along the Alm for a while, past the **Genuss am Almfluss partner businesses Pension Wanderruh and the JUFA Hotel Almtal** to Fischerau. From there, the trail runs parallel to the Almsee road in the forest to the next highlight, the **Cumberland Wildlife Park** The **Cumberland Wildlife Park is** also **a delight at the Almfluss partner company**. A visit is worthwhile and should actually be included in the hiking program. A round in the wildlife park (approx. 5 km) with many shortcut options. You can also take advantage of the restaurants in the wildlife park (only open to visitors). Then continue along the path to the turn-off to Hetzau (access to the Ödseen lakes). From there, the trail leads back along the alpine pasture and through the forest to the Almsee lake. Almsee lake ----------- Past the mouth of the **Almsee**, you walk along the eastern shore, past the **Viscope**, where you can enjoy a great and informative panoramic view, to the parking lot at the Seehaus. Continue a little further to the **Echoplatzerl**, above which you will find the new **hanging chairs** where you can enjoy the view and the echo. The path is a little steep here and the gravel makes the ascent a little difficult! **Please only use the designated parking spaces at the access points and show consideration for private property! Thank you for your fairness! The deviations in the kilometers and times are due to the access from the parking lots to the trail or to the rest areas.** [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** Traunsee-Almtal Wanderspass Tour 8 **Starting place:** 4654 Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting **Destination:** 4645 Grünau im Almtal **duration:** 15h 30m **length:** 58,5 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 762m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 498m **Highest point:** 637m **difficulty:** easy **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Gravel, Hiking trail **Starting point:** From Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting **Destination:** to "Almsee" Grünau im Almtal **further information:** - culinary interesting - Multi-day tour - Possible accommodation - Board possible **Details - hiking**- themed path [ ![Altitude profile ENJOYMENT ALONG THE ALM-RIVER - 52 kilometres of hiking from the "Almspitz" to the lake Almsee](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430002539&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile ENJOYMENT ALONG THE ALM-RIVER - 52 kilometres of hiking from the "Almspitz" to the lake Almsee](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430002539&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "ENJOYMENT ALONG THE ALM-RIVER - 52 kilometres of hiking from the "Almspitz" to the lake Almsee") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ This hiking trail is accessible from spring to fall (no snow removal), but please stay on the trail and respect the privacy and property of the residents along the trail.
