Almtal Bike Path New - Variant via Vorchdorf and Bad Wimsbach

The routing of the tour variant via Vorchdorf and Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting from the R11 "Almtal bicycle path"  (Almtalradweg) starts from Wels via the R4 "Traun" bicycle path (Traunradweg) / R6 "roman bicycle path" (Römerradweg) to the Lambach power plant, crossing the river to Stadl-Paura, left in direction Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting, Vorchdorf, to Einsiedling, then to the R13 "Traunviertel" bicycle path to Pettenbach, thera back on the R11 "Almtal" bicycle path in the direction to Scharnstein, Grünau im Almtal and to the end point at the lake Almsee.

It’s worth taking a break or two along the Almtal Bike Trail. This route takes you through the entire Almtal valley. Whether you want to stop for a rest at a cozy inn or visit an interesting museum, you have plenty of options. For example, the Tempus Archaeology Museum and the Hackenschmiede Open-Air Museum in Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting, the Motorcycle Museum or the Schloss Eggenberg Brewery in Vorchdorf, and the Writing and Printing Museum in the Bartlhaus in Pettenbach, right next to the Pettenbach train station. (You can also take the Almtalbahn from here or to here.) The Geyerhammer Scythe Museum in Scharnstein is also worth a detour.

Through the district of Viechtwang, the route then continues along Almeggstraße toward Grünau im Almtal, past the Grünau im Almtal train station, where you’ll join the state road leading to Lake Almsee. You’ll cycle along the lake, past the Cumberland Wildlife Park in Grünau. After Jagersimmerl, you’ll pedal up one last hill before reaching the Almsee.

Sections with heavier motorized traffic are marked with signs: Grünau im Almtal to Almsee
