Description: From 20.10.2025 to 01.01.2026 the Buchbergweg "steep" is closed from the forest road (steep path on the left) to the upper forest road. Please switch to the circular route, the last section can be walked as usual.

A great summit experience on the Buchberg with distant views over the beautiful landscape of Lake Attersee from the "Jagastüberl".

Please note: cycling on the Buchberg is prohibited!

The starting point of this tour is at the Atterseehalle, where you orient yourself along the parallel road in the direction of the forest. At the edge of the forest begins the path, which first leads a piece along the Schlossbergrunde and the Walderlebnisweg. At the next fork, keep left and follow the path until you reach the forest road. Here you go to the right on the forest road for a while until a sign shows you the way to go. Here you can decide whether to choose the steep ascent to the left or to stay on the forest road that also leads to the summit. If you choose the steep path, after a while you will meet another forest road, which you follow to the right again. After a bend to the left, continue left along a hiking trail through the forest, which is very steep. This leads directly to the summit of the Buchberg. After a rest at the summit at the Jägerstüberl hut with a great view, you can either take the same path back or go back to the starting point via the forest road to Attersee.
