The Josefweg is a spiritual loop trail from Lake Traunsee to Lake Attersee and back, covering three daily stages. The second stage leads from Weyregg on Lake Attersee to the Großalm.

Stage 2

At 17 km, this stage was originally the shortest. Due to the closure of the Großalm inn, the route has been extended accordingly.

The trail leads along Jubiläumsallee to the Schau Aquarium. You can also take a detour to the parish church in Weyregg. The trail then follows the Attersee East Shore Trail, which initially includes the Wasser-Roas Trail with interesting informational signs about Lake Attersee.

After about an hour’s walk, the Bramosen Inn is a good spot to stop for a break. This is the last place to stop for refreshments before reaching the day’s next destination.

From Alexenau, the trail climbs steeply toward Bramosen, partly on hiking trails and partly on forest roads. At the Seeleitenstüberl, you can refill your water bottles with fresh spring water. After about 500 meters, the route heads east. For the remainder of the hike, the trail stays on forest roads. Along the way, you’ll pass intersections with evocative names like Praterstern and Almstall.

The forest roads are partly slightly uphill, but mostly downhill. As soon as the forest road joins the state road, the route turns right and continues westward for about 800 m. It’s worth stopping by the Nadasdy Hermitage.

The sign for “Gasthof Großalm” points to the original destination for the day. The Gasthof Großalm is currently closed.

Total walking time: originally about 4–5 hours
Distance: originally approx. 17 km
Note: Due to the closure of the Gasthof Großalm, this stage is longer.
