Nature trail: Sweet Chestnut Forest
Small circular walk in Unterach am Attersee
This forest is unique, because nowhere else
north of the Alps, the sweet chestnuts reach their full maturity.
Hightlight: power place at the jubilee tree
The tour starts in the center of Unterach: after the Spar supermarket, walk up Kirchengasse, past the kindergarten, right along the meadow path up to the main road, which you cross. Then follow the markings in the direction of the "jubilee tree".
You hike along the forest nature trail through the chestnut forest. The goal of this tour is the so-called jubilee tree. It was planted in 1908 for the 60th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Josef. After a rest in the shade of the mighty branches, you return to the starting point along the same path. Alternatively, you can extend the tour and walk to the Egelsee nature reserve.
