Tour-Details
Paths covering:
From Vorchdorf with a view of the Tote Gebirge mountains towards Pettenbach to Scharnstein/Viechtwang
From the Vorchdorf rest area (near the Kitzmantel factory), where you have taken a seat in a wooden spoon, continue along the Laudach. After crossing the road, follow the path to the Schloss Eggenberg brewery, the next partner company of Genuss am Almfluss. Before the brewery, turn left up the hill right next to the entrance. Follow the path in the direction of Pappelleiten/Einsiedling. Shortly before Pappelleiten, cross the road again and head down towards Alm. Follow the path for a short distance along the alpine pasture until you reach the road. There is a car park opposite, which you could also use for a stage hike. Follow the road briefly, then turn left over the bridge to Eggenstein, a district of Pettenbach.
After the bridge, turn left along the alpine pasture for a good distance until you reach the Kronawettwehr power station, a partner company of Genuss am Almfluss. Right next to it is the Pettenbach massage rest area, which you can use to relax and indulge yourself. A special car park has also been created here so that you can visit the show power station and the active rest area directly.
Note: there is a connecting path to the centre of Pettenbach (Almburg area), which is also dotted on the Genuss am Almfluss map. There are no parking facilities in the Almburg area! Therefore, please use the car park at the power station or directly at the railway station in Pettenbach. Please give up in the area of the sawmills because of the factory traffic!
The route then continues along the Alm, with one or two Almwelle loungers waiting to be claimed by you. Almost at the end of the village of Pettenbach at Steinbach Brücke, you have the opportunity to get to the boarding point at the Steinbach-Brücke railway stop of the Almtalbahn, again only 5 minutes away from the trail. In the neighbouring village of Steinbach am Ziehberg, you will find the Genuss am Almfluss partner business Ferienhaus Schwarzenbach.
Note: from the centre of Pettenbach, the Almtalbahn railway runs to Grünau im Almtal. The starting and finishing points are Pettenbach, Steinbach Brücke, Viechtwang, Scharnstein, Kothmühle, Traxenbichl and Grünau im Almtal (terminus).
