The hiking trail is not just in summer one of the most popular trails in Bad Goisern. Even in winter, the Traunreiter path is ideal for winter hiking.


Family-friendly, easy walk

Winter hiking along the Traun - in the Weißenbach area, the Traunreiterweg, which is cleared in winter, invites you to slow down on a leisurely 1 ¼ hour walk.
 
The trail starts to the right of the Goisererbrücke bridge (near the centre Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee) and leads past Bad Goisern railway station to the Weißenbachbrücke bridge, always accompanied by the rushing of the tireless Traun river. The level and easy path is particularly popular with families and has been one of the most popular winter hiking trails for many years.
