O5 Mayrhöfenweg

A 7km hike, mostly on tarmac or firm paths to Mayrhöfen and Wartberg back to St. Oswald. From the village area, the first few kilometres head towards Oberrauchenödt along the country road and the asphalted goods road. Followed by a short section of natural path before returning to a goods road. All in all, 2/3 of the route is on tarmac and 1/3 on natural paths. The hike can therefore also be managed with an all-terrain pushchair, and the 110 metres of ascent are also easy to manage.

The route is signposted O5.

From the municipal office, cross the Nordkammlandesstraße and continue in the direction of Freistadt. At the crest, follow the goods road to the right to the Rannerhof.

After passing a detached farm, turn left after a few metres onto a dirt track, which you follow. In the forest, turn left onto the farm track, which ends back on the Nordkammlandesstraße. Watch out for traffic when crossing! Follow the path through Mayrhöfen to the next farm, then turn left again onto the goods road that takes you to Wartberg.

The path is poorly signposted here! Go straight over the country road and follow the goods road. Turn left and follow the path in the direction of "Häuser Wartberg 9-14a,17". After the bridge, we find the next signpost on the left.

From here, the route leads back to St. Oswald, past the church and back to the parish on the right.

Safety instructions:
The hike leads through the village of St. Oswald bei Freistadt, along the pavement of the Nordkammstrasse. This must be crossed again in the course of the hike. Some sections lead along goods roads that are not very busy, but traffic is always to be expected.
