From the Kuchlmühle – a former mill and excursion inn – a circular route leads uphill west of the river into the gorge forest of the Naarntal. Over almost 13 kilometers in total, you hike on the foothills of the hills to the "Raumtischmühle" and along a pipeline of a power plant, passing small hydropower plants on the way back to Perg. The combination of technical cultivation of the river and the natural beauty of the river valley makes this hiking experience memorable.**Safety guidelines:** Observe the notices about forestry work – turn back if you see these warning signs – there is a danger to life. Dogs must be kept on a leash! **Equipment:** Hiking backpack (including rain cover), sturdy footwear [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 4320 Perg **Destination:** 4320 Perg **duration:** 3h 30m **length:** 12,7 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 283m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 283m **Lowest point:** 248m **Highest point:** 471m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** difficult **panoramic view:** Dreamtour **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Other **Starting point:** Hauptplatz Perg **Destination:** Hauptplatz Perg **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Alpenvereinsweg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008175&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Alpenvereinsweg](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008175&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Alpenvereinsweg") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![Bäckerei Kern](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/396965/070AA697DB7A4CD438C555CCBBF4223DD9C09E4135B9702DD67FC6349D82B725/baeckerei-kern.jpg "Bäckerei Kern") Bakery, Cake- and Coffeeshop [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival****Getting there** Via the B3, exit Perg Mitte, then to the city center **Public Transit** [Arrival in the Danube region](https://www.donauregion.at/service/artikel/detail/2890/anreise-region-donau.html) How to get to the Danube region of Upper Austria?
