Along the hiking trail you will pass beautiful villas and enjoy an incredibly beautiful landscape! There is also the possibility to combine the hike with the [Attersee boat trip](https://www.atterseeschifffahrt.at/). It goes along the promenade to Villa Paulick (part of the Gustav Klimt Theme Trail) and from here to the parish church of Seewalchen. There you turn left onto the Schulweg (Zeitleistenweg) and follow the yellow signs along a forest path to the Ginzkey-Weg until you reach the Ginzkey memorial (Franz Karl Ginzkey, a well-known Austrian writer and poet who spent the summer months in Seewalchen). The trail continues through the forest across the "Mooser Feld" to the village of Litzlberg. Here you will find the recreation area with lido, beach volleyball court and children's playground as well as the Kammersee sailing club. The path continues through meadows, fields and small settlements to Buchberg (old, thousand-year-old church). After a short stretch along the road, turn right. Here, during the gentle ascent to Haining, beautiful panoramic views of the Attersee and the Höllengebirge mountains are offered. Once in Haining, you walk past the riding hall through the village of Berg to the imposing Buchberg (808 m). From there you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the entire Attersee-Attergau region. This is also where the descent to Attersee begins. From Attersee you can take the boat back to Seewalchen in summer.
