There is a plague column next to the parish church, and here - as with all chapels, wayside shrines and wayside crosses that we pass on our hike - we will find a brief description and explanation.** Now follow the markings through the village and leave it by turning left into Schroppgasse shortly after [GH Rauchenschwandner](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101230/gasthaus-gruener-baum.html). Now walk in a southerly direction to Marktwald. Shortly after the subway of the Westbahn railway line, we come to a **plague chapel**. From there, the path climbs moderately steeply into the Marktwald forest. Once we have left the forest again, we can already see the **Baumann Chapel**. Now we continue in the direction of Mösendorf. Here we have to cross the busy B1 motorway (be careful!). In Mösendorf, it is worth taking a short detour (approx. 150 metres) to the **Mösendorf parish church**. In front of the church there is also an **old Roman stone**, which reminds us that a major Roman road once passed here. We now hike back to the "Güterweg Mösendorf" junction. We should not miss the short detour (about 150 metres) to the **Pading Chapel**. Our hike now takes us through the village settlement area and then further along a field path to the edge of the forest. Here we cross a small rivulet on a narrow footbridge. There we are greeted by the village of Schmidham. Shortly after this striking point, we reach a fork in the path where we can choose a much shorter route with variant V3 (route 6). We therefore leave route V1 (route 4) and turn left. We soon reach the forest. The path leads us to the village of Unterholz and the Attergau country road. We have to cross this road to reach the **Walchen village chapel**. We then continue our hike along the village road. We pass the village hall and can already see the next **picture post** ahead of us, which was once erected on the left next to the Walchen goods road. Before the road descends a little more steeply, we branch off to the right and arrive in the small village of Hötzing. The path now leads us in a wide arc down to the ["Walchner Keller" inn](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101850/walchner-keller.html) and the B1 main road. This section of the route offers a wonderful view down to the mighty tower of the Vöcklamarkt parish church. In order to cross the wide B1 safely, we have to take the path running parallel to the main road on the right-hand side until we reach the modern traffic lights. We then follow the pavement or footpath to reach the Attergauer Lokalbahn railway station. We then cross the Westbahn railway line via a subway and finally hike back to the starting point of our circular hike. **Rest stops**: [Gasthaus "Grüner Baum"](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/aktivitaeten/genuss/alle-gastrobetriebe/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101230/gasthaus-gruener-baum.html), +43 7682 6578 [Walchner Keller](https://attersee-attergau.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/101850/walchner-keller.html), +43 7682 62982 [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** 6 **Starting place:** 4870 Vöcklamarkt **Destination:** 4870 Vöcklamarkt **duration:** 2h 9m **length:** 7,9 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 122m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 118m **Lowest point:** 485m **Highest point:** 565m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Path / trail, Gravel, Street, Hiking trail [ ![Altitude profile Circular route 6 - chapels & wayside shrines Vöcklamarkt](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008833&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Circular route 6 - chapels & wayside shrines Vöcklamarkt](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430008833&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Circular route 6 - chapels & wayside shrines Vöcklamarkt") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- **Accessibility / arrival****Car:** From Salzburg via the A1 - exit St. Georgen im Attergau - continue right on the Attergaustrasse L540 towards Vöcklamarkt From Vienna/Linz via the A1 - exit St. Georgen im Attergau - continue right on the Attergaustrasse L540 towards Vöcklamarkt From the west - Bad Ischl - Weißenbachtal (B153) - continue on the B152 to Unterach - then on the B151 to Attersee - continue on the L540 via St. Georgen im Attergau to Vöcklamarkt **Train:** From Salzburg or Linz/Vienna with the "Österreichische Bundesbahnen" or the "Westbahn" to Attnang-Puchheim, continue with the regional train to Vöcklamarkt **Airplane:** Arrival in Salzburg or Linz/Vienna, continue by car/bus or train. **Parking**- Parking space: 15 - Parking area for disabled: 2 [ Prices ](#ttgCollapsePreise) -------------------------------- - Free entry [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- - Suitable for groups - Suitable for teenagers - Suitable for seniors - Suitable for single travelers - Suitable for families - Suitable for friends - Suitable for couples **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn - Early winter [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
