Kremstalweg hiking trail

Description:

From the Alpenbad in Micheldorf, past the scythe smith museum, along the Krems river, through the Nußbacher and Wartberger floodplain areas, this long-distance hike leads through the Kremstal valley to Kremsmünster.

Hiking trail: K1

Directions:

From the parking lot at the Alpenbad in Micheldorf, you walk past the scythe smith museum, later along the Krems river through the Kirchdorfer, Inzersdorfer, Schlierbacher, Nußbacher, and Wartberger floodplain areas.

With a bit of luck, you can spot the protected lapwing in the floodplain areas of Schlierbach and Wartberg.

At halfway, Wartberg offers the first opportunity – without having to make major detours – to get to know the Kremstal gastronomy. Refreshed, you continue on the bike path to Krift and Kremsmünster up to the Landhotel Schicklberg.

The long hike rewards you with magnificent views of the Tote Gebirge mountains, the Warscheneck, the Sengsengebirge mountains, the Kremsmauer, many other well-known peaks, and cultural sites such as the Schlierbach and Kremsmünster monasteries.

Tip:
Climate-friendly to the National Park region - Micheldorf station in Upper Austria: By train, you reach the starting point for this hike in about 1 hour from Linz and around 2.5 hours from Vienna.
