Hiking and Mountaineering in the Attersee-Attergau Region

Hiking is not just the miller's delight! The holiday region Attersee-Attergau offers a wide range of moderate hiking tours, family and pleasure hikes, the Weitwanderweg Attersee-Attergau (long distance hiking route), the Attersee-Traunsee Nature Park and the more demanding mountain hikes of the Höllengebirge or on the Schafsberg, for all nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts – and also for prospective hikers.

From moderate hiking to really working off energy – there is something to suit all tastes and for every level of hiking difficulty! Adventure seekers may try to face the Attersee Klettersteig Mahdlgupf (fixed-rope route) challenge, the bouldering area Forstamt or one of the various fixed-rope routes of the Höllengebirge.
