A HEAD FOR HEIGHTS & SUREFOOTEDNESS ARE A PREREQUISITE HERE The Valerieweg is well laid out, some sections are secured with steel cables, but **caution** is advised on some steep drops. The start of this hike is at the former Jagawirt inn approx. 20 metres to the right of the entrance to the closed Burggrabenklamm gorge. The path to the Eisenaueralm branches off at the small Maria Klamm pilgrimage site. The narrow Valerieweg, built in 1890, is beautifully laid out and leads straight up in serpentines and over steps. Soon you are in the middle of the impressive moat and can look down into the gorge below. You should be free from giddiness. Rope safety devices provide support in several places, you cross the stream on a footbridge and soon reach the Magdalenenquelle spring. You soon come to a junction, where you keep to the right, descend towards Ackergraben and cross under vertical rocks to reach a valley that opens up more and more. Cross the stream once again, climb higher, reach the Unterackeralm and continue over flatter terrain to the Oberackeralm. You finally reach the extensive Eisenaueralm via alpine meadows and forest. You then head towards the Buchberghütte on the wide, gently sloping alpine path. Hikers and mountain bikers meet here beneath the imposing northern precipices of the Schafberg. **Rest stops:** Buchberghütte and Kienberghütte, open from May to October [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** 26 **Starting place:** 4866 Unterach am Attersee **Destination:** 4866 Unterach am Attersee **duration:** 2h 56m **length:** 5,0 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 659m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 119m **Lowest point:** 476m **Highest point:** 1.024m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Individual Views **Paths covering:** Hiking trail **Starting point:** Parking place at the "Jagawirt" **Destination:** Eisenaueralm **further information:** - Possible accommodation - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile On the Valerieweg up to Eisenaualm](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100430&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile On the Valerieweg up to Eisenaualm](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_100430&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "On the Valerieweg up to Eisenaualm") [ Variants and stages ](#ttgCollapseVariantenEtappen) ------------------------------------------------------- [ Eisenau from Mühlleiten/Unterach am Attersee ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430007810/eisenau-from-muehlleiten-unterach-am-attersee.html) [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival**by car: Coming from Salzburg via the A1 - exit Mondsee Coming from Vienna/Linz via the A1 - exit St. Georgen, Attersee via Nußdorf to Unterach Coming from the west - Bad Ischl-Weißenbach-Unterach **by train:** Coming from Salzburg or Linz/Vienna to Vöcklamarkt, then with the Attergau train to Attersee, and by bus to Unterach **by plane:** Coming from Salzburg via the A1 - exit Mondsee Coming from Vienna/Linz via the A1 - exit St. Georgen **Parking**- Parking space: 10 [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for groups - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
