A small rest area with a bench and table next to the pond invites you to linger and watch the animals. The ant trail continues through the forest. Here you can feel the power of nature and recharge your batteries before heading back to Kaltenberg past the Augenbründl and the original chapel. Unless you make a detour to the highlight for children: a playground with a small motor skills park is located just 150 metres from the Ameisenweg (the playground is located behind the football pitch > simply walk along the pavement to the left of the road at the end of the forest path)." date: 2017-02-22 modified: 2026-03-18 --- # Ameisenweg Ameisenweg ============ **Path number:** Nr. 45 **Starting place:** 4273 Kaltenberg **Destination:** 4273 Kaltenberg ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/240341/8EAB8BA65DDE6D3F96A78985DCE3CF3BA00EE7515C69D5B8385631CCF040F1FB/ameisenweg-ententeich-kindererlebnis.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/240342/B66B61B617C90EEA3A7A9BFBA11399E999974AA552810AE26758FD65FD387F02/ameisenweg-kaltenberg-kinderwanderweg.jpg) ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/260x195/240343/D0FF017A87D22BC01CDB9C7208E618DD897671AFC767B0501E3E07962A84DCA7/ameisenweg-kaltenberg.jpg) © Open copyright © tourismuskaltenberg Close copyright [ ![Ant trail Duck pond Children's experience](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/240341/8EAB8BA65DDE6D3F96A78985DCE3CF3BA00EE7515C69D5B8385631CCF040F1FB/ameisenweg-ententeich-kindererlebnis.jpg "© tourismuskaltenberg") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/240341/8EAB8BA65DDE6D3F96A78985DCE3CF3BA00EE7515C69D5B8385631CCF040F1FB/ameisenweg-ententeich-kindererlebnis.jpg) © Open copyright © tourismuskaltenberg Close copyright [ ![Kaltenberg ant trail children's hiking trail](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/240342/B66B61B617C90EEA3A7A9BFBA11399E999974AA552810AE26758FD65FD387F02/ameisenweg-kaltenberg-kinderwanderweg.jpg "© tourismuskaltenberg") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/240342/B66B61B617C90EEA3A7A9BFBA11399E999974AA552810AE26758FD65FD387F02/ameisenweg-kaltenberg-kinderwanderweg.jpg) © Open copyright © tourismuskaltenberg Close copyright [ ![Duck pond on the Ameisenweg in Kaltenberg, Mühlviertel.](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/240343/D0FF017A87D22BC01CDB9C7208E618DD897671AFC767B0501E3E07962A84DCA7/ameisenweg-kaltenberg.jpg "© tourismuskaltenberg") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/240343/D0FF017A87D22BC01CDB9C7208E618DD897671AFC767B0501E3E07962A84DCA7/ameisenweg-kaltenberg.jpg) © Open copyright © Gemeinde Kaltenberg Close copyright [ ![View from Kaltenberg](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/240345/0D296ECD5697445249468086D569C7902574ADF39FCB27DA74B4FDD3B9596984/blick-von-kaltenberg.jpg "© Gemeinde Kaltenberg") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/240345/0D296ECD5697445249468086D569C7902574ADF39FCB27DA74B4FDD3B9596984/blick-von-kaltenberg.jpg) © Open copyright © tourismuskaltenberg Close copyright [ ![Beautiful woodland on the Ameisenweg in Kaltenberg, Mühlviertel](https://assets.tourdata.at/x550/240344/8BA156F096F370FF61E329892ED082492D0EE1CB8E92000AC865CEBCF3A47A09/ameisenweg.jpg "© tourismuskaltenberg") ](https://assets.tourdata.at/1920x/240344/8BA156F096F370FF61E329892ED082492D0EE1CB8E92000AC865CEBCF3A47A09/ameisenweg.jpg) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. pets allowed Circular route Possible accommodation ![](https://static.ecmaps.de/staticmap.jpg?experience=webarchitektur-meta&width=991&height=450&project=ttg-basemap&path=enc:yevfHk~dyAPQPGPIP?PIPKPIPIPER@LNJVJVP@PGPMPKPMPFLRFX@ZA\IXQJSJQJQHQFQJOLMLOPKVDZNPNJPJPJNJPDRENQP@NNJTLPLTLRNPNPNNPJNHRFPBPHRDPBR@R@PBPJHTFZAZA^CZ?\?Z?\FZHTJTHTJVFVB\CZEXA\EZIVKTGXGVEXCZ?\?Z?Z?Z?\?\AZAZA^EZAZ?Z?X@\@^?X@Z@\@\BZ@\@\BZ?Z@Z?\DXD\AZOLSFQDSDSFSFQFQHSCOKQKOOQOOQOKQIQEQ@SBQFOLIVQBQHQFQ?QESEQAS@QCUCOIQOOSKUIWKSMSKUOQKWMSOMOOIWMUC[@[@[Ca@GWGYEYGYIYIUMWMUKQOSIUKUOYMQSGMOMQMSOUOUIYC[GYIYGYGWCYCYG[EYC]?[?]?]@]PKLONOLUHSHYF[JUJWJUPk@NQPBNMJUJUJUHYHUJULUHWJWLSLSNQLOCa@GYB[HYNQB[FYPKNKDE&server=meta.tourdata.at) *Hiking trail in Kaltenberg in the Mühlviertel region* A leisurely hike that is also suitable for pushchairs: through the village square of Kaltenberg, you walk along the road downhill for a while before the path leads you past a small duck pond - a highlight for young and old alike.
