There are two different Christmas hiking trails: *Route 1:* Advent hike from Linz’s local mountain to the city center: Ascent to Pöstlingberg via the Pöstlingbergbahn cable car—Pöstlingberg Church—viewing platform—loop around Pöstlingberg—descent to Linz’s main square along safe trails. Elevation gain: The route consists almost entirely of trails that lead downhill, some of which are quite steep. Length: approx. 6 km. Route 2: Advent Hike via the Franz Josef Warte to the Mariendom: Linz’s Hauptplatz – Castle – Franz Josef Warte (Danube Valley) – Stadium – Bauernberg Park – Mariendom. Elevation gain: approx. 140 (ascents and descents are part of the route). Length: approx. 6.5 km. For a truly special pre-Christmas experience, both tours can also be taken as atmospheric torchlight hikes. This allows you to see Linz from a very special, wintry perspective. These guided tours are also available as torchlight hikes from November through the end of January between 4:00 PM and 9:00 PM. The surcharge per torch is €4. NOTE: Routes may be altered to ensure the safety of guests, e.g., in the event of icy conditions on paths, trails, etc. The Advent hikes can be booked individually through the end of January.
