Guggenberg - Weißenstein - Prielbauer

Hiking trail suitable for winter over the Guggenberg and through the Weißenstein settlement.

We follow the Herzog-Odilo-Street in northern direction to the motorway bridge and take the first right - immediately after the underpass. Slightly uphill this street leads us (path no. 32) through the districts of Schlössl and Zur Linde. At Guggenbergstrasse we turn left and walk down west to the main road, which we cross at the warehouse.
We are in the Weißenstein district and continue straight ahead. Before the road leads downhill to Haidermühle, we can turn left towards the south and thus stay on the ridge. We hike back on Vogelsangstrasse with the beautiful view of the mountains of the Mondseeland.

We ignore the turnoff to the Erlachmühle. In the following left curve, a dirt road branches off to the right. This leads us to the sports center and straight ahead under the autobahn through to Prielhofstrasse. The beautifully situated Prielhof used to belong to the Mondsee monastery or castle. The path leads past Sportland and the Red Cross point. We reach the roundabout via Prielhofstrasse. Through the underpass we come to the fire brigade and to Krankenhausstrasse, which we follow downhill. At the next crossroads we turn left, cross Steinerbachstrasse and come back to Herzog-Odilo-Strasse and back to the center on Freinbergerstrasse.
