The Theuerwanger Forest is a popular local recreation area in Vorchdorf and the surrounding area. On the new cycle route that connects Vorchdorf with Eggenstein or Pettenbach, you can now enjoy cycling safely away from the main road. At the waterworks, a bench and a fountain invite you to linger.

Find peace and relaxation on the new bike route through the Theuerwanger Forest!

The cycle path leads along the forest road through the Theuerwanger Forest. The route begins at Pettenbacherstraße / Theuerwang intersection opposite the inn "Schauflinger's Gasthaus Theuerwang". There is also a parking lot along Pettenbacherstraße.
The forest road takes you through the relaxing forest to the market town of Pettenbach.

From Eggensteinerstraße there are various connection options for further cycling tours, e.g. on the R13 Traunviertel cycle path in the direction of Pettenbach or in the direction of Kirchham / Laakirchen, here you are also on the 3rd stage of the Traunviertel tour. You also come to the R11 Almtalradweg bicycle path in the direction of Almsee or in the direction of Wels.

We would like to thank the property owners, the Schauflinger family, the Kremsmünster Abbey and the Schnellnberger family, for making the cycle path possible.

We ask you to behave respectfully towards nature and other forest users. Please note the fair play rules for responsible and safe cooperation on the new cycle path through the Theuerwanger Forest.

The signage for the new cycle path is already being planned and will follow shortly!

Opening hours

In principle, the route is open all year round, driving is prohibited on snowy roads!
No snow removal!

Night rides may be fun, but the trend is a disaster for nature and animals. So: leave the forest to the hunting prescribed by law in Austria at dusk and to the animals at night!
