On a well-signposted hiking trail, mostly right next to the alpine pasture, you can experience fascinating flora and fauna away from the main road. On the well-surfaced paths, the journey begins where the Almfluss flows into Traun, at Fischlham - Edt bei Lambach. The many Almwellen loungers invite you to take a break in particularly beautiful places. At the Almeggbrücke bridge, you have the opportunity to make a detour to the **"Time Out - Family & Leisure Park"** , which is approx. 1.4 kilometers from the trail. From the Almeggbrücke bridge, you walk along the Alm to the mouth of the Laudach. There you have to walk along the Laudach a little way in the forest to the bridge (small parking lot next to it), cross the bridge and then immediately turn left again along the Laudach. The hammock rest area is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. At the edge of the only conglomerate gorge on the Alm, you can also observe very well how the river has carved its way through the landscape over thousands of years. Shortly before Vorchdorf, the path leads steeply uphill under the freeway bridge, where you then pass through a settlement, then another forest path, past the sports field and into the village center. The church tower is a welcome landmark here. A variety of cultural highlights, stores and places to stop for refreshments await you there. The path leads across the Schlossplatz and the Laudach bridge, then immediately left along the Laudach past the Kitzmantel factory. From there you can reach [Vorchdorf train station](http://www.stern.at/sternverkehr/index.php?option=com_content&&view=article&&id=46&&Itemid=54&&lang=de&&template=SternVerkehr) in just 5 minutes on foot. Cross a small bridge over the Laudach again and turn right to the rest area and children's playground. ***Dear hikers, the original route has changed slightly due to the construction of the Mühltal alpine power station. We ask for your understanding!*** [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4654 Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting **Destination:** 4655 Vorchdorf **duration:** 3h 44m **length:** 14,8 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 121m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 39m **Lowest point:** 336m **Highest point:** 428m **difficulty:** easy **condition:** easy **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel, Other **further information:** - Possible accommodation - Board possible **Details - hiking**- themed path [ ![Altitude profile enjoyment by the river - Almspitz](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430005643&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile enjoyment by the river - Almspitz](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430005643&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "enjoyment by the river - Almspitz") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ This hiking trail is accessible from spring to fall (no snow removal), but please stay on the trail and respect the privacy and property of the residents along the trail.
