Description: Due to storm damage, the active rest area in Bad Wimsbach-Neyhdarting with the hammocks has unfortunately been damaged and the path is difficult to pass. Together with the market town and the property owner, we are in the process of repairing the damage and restoring the rest area.

We ask for your understanding and increased caution!

Where the Alm flows into the Traun, the path towards the inner Almtal begins.

On a well-signposted hiking trail, mostly right next to the alp, you can experience a fascinating flora and fauna away from the main road.

The journey begins on the well-paved paths where the Alm river flows in Traun, near Fischlham - Edt near Lambach. The many Almwellen - loungers invite you to take a break in particularly beautiful places.
At the hammocks - active rest area, it's just wonderful to let your soul dangle. At the edge of the only conglomerate gorge on the Alm, you can also see very well how the river has carved its way through the landscape over thousands of years.
Shortly before Vorchdorf, the path under the bridge leads steeply uphill to the town center. A variety of cultural highlights, shops and places to stop for refreshments await you there.
The path then leads along the Laudach to the leisure rest area or children's playground.
From there you can reach the Vorchdorf train station in just 5 minutes on foot.

Dear hikers, the terrain in the Almkraftwerks Mühltal area is being redesigned to improve the river ecology (natural migration of organisms and fish). We ask for your understanding that you temporarily have to accept a small detour. The diversion is signposted! A map for this section can be found under more information.
