Recommended walking direction counterclockwise You'll be hiking 'up, down and around' ('aufi ... owi ... umi' in local dialect) in four (or five) stages. You will wander through rolling hills, forests suffused with light, well-groomed endless meadows, cultivated landscapes in the Attersee-Traunsee Natural Park, catching countless breathtaking views over Lake Attersee glinting in the sunlight. Walk at your own pace, step by step, and let your mind wander. Take a break to watch the appeasing alpacas, observe the busy bees or let your gaze wander over the scenery at the 'Kronberg Platzl' viewpoint. As far back as in the prehistoric times of the pile dwellers, the region around Lake Attersee was a special place to live in. Much later, Gustav Klimt found inspiration for his artwork here. The region also has a long tradition in salt and glass production. If your feet get tired and long for a break, get on a boat or on the train and effortlessly enjoy such a well-deserved shortcut. To keep the spirits high on a long hike, treat yourself to a glass of traditionally brewed beer, culinary treats produced in the region or even an invigorating shot of local Schnaps as a reward for your efforts. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe already said that you’ve only really got to know a place if you walked there - let the long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau be your source of inspiration and joie de vivre. *Once you have reached your destination you will be missing one thing for sure - the way there!*, said the Austrian writer Marie von Ebner Eschenbach. For a description of the [four stages](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/en/activities/sports-and-health/hiking/long-distance-hike-attersee-attergau.html) go to the page of the long-distance trail or of connected tours. You can start your hike from any village around Lake Attersee or in the Attergau region. Shortcuts of all stages are possible on boat, by train or water taxi. And of course you can skip the loops. We will be happy to assist you in the planning of your tour. **Refreshments on the way:** - [Seewalchen](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241739%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Attersee](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241702%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [St. Georgen](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241734%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Nußdorf](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241718%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Unterach](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241745%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Steinbach](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241740%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Weyregg](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241749%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) - [Schörfling](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe.html#q=attribute_GEMKZF:%2241737%22&startdate=05.02.2021&enddate=07.02.2021&occupation=2&removeEmptyItems=false&sort=title+asc) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4863 Seewalchen am Attersee **Destination:** 4863 Seewalchen am Attersee **duration:** 29h 33m **length:** 91,3 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 3.412m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 3.415m **Lowest point:** 469m **Highest point:** 1.027m **difficulty:** difficult **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Path / trail, Gravel, Hiking trail **Starting point:** Parking lot above the Seewalchen lido **Destination:** Parking lot above the Seewalchen lido **further information:** - Multi-day tour - Circular route [ ![Altitude profile Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430005819&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430005819&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau") [ Opening hours ](#ttgCollapseOeffnungszeiten) ------------------------------------------------ Accessible from spring to autumn - no winter clearing on the Attersee-Attergau long-distance hiking trail [ Variants and stages ](#ttgCollapseVariantenEtappen) ------------------------------------------------------- [ Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau Stage 1 Seewalchen - Nußdorf ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430005822/long-distance-trail-attersee-attergau-stage-1-seewalchen-nussdorf.html) [ Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau Stage 2 Nußdorf - Unterach ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430005823/long-distance-trail-attersee-attergau-stage-2-nussdorf-unterach.html) [ Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau Stage 3 Unterach - Steinbach ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430005824/long-distance-trail-attersee-attergau-stage-3-unterach-steinbach.html) [ Long-distance trail Attersee-Attergau Stage 4 Steinbach - Seewalchen ](https://www.upperaustria.com/en/oesterreich-tour/detail/430005825/long-distance-trail-attersee-attergau-stage-4-steinbach-seewalchen.html) 1. 2. 3. 4.
