Ideally suited as a short family hike. **We would like to emphasize that the Buchberg is released by the forest administration Mayr Melnhof only for hikers! Cycling on the forest roads and hiking trails on the Buchberg, however, is prohibited.** [Get inspired now and try out the 360° Perspectives Tour!]() The start of this hike is the parking lot in Alkersdorf. From here, the trail initially leads briefly along the asphalt road, then up the steep meadow to the right and continues through the forest and across the unique grassy landscape of the Buchberg to the Jägerstüberl, where you can enjoy magnificent views of Lake Attersee and the Attergau landscape. For families, the ascent is suitable via path 4 Buchberg, which leads from the parking lot Alkersdorf on an asphalt road up to the summit and is also suitable for strollers. Back you have several options to extend the tour (see hiking map and signage) or take the same path back to the starting point. REFRESHMENT STOPS: [Mostheuriger Zeininger](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103057/moststub-n-zeininger.html), Eisenpalmsdorf, After a short construction period, the new parking lot with about 30 parking spaces for hikers on and around the Buchberg was completed. Particularly important was with the new building to prevent the Wildparken in such a way, which increased in the last years massively. We are very pleased to have found an ideal solution here together with the property owner and would like to take this opportunity to thank the Gruber family and the municipality of St. Georgen im Attergau for the good cooperation and support during the realization.
