Paths covering:
The 4th stage of the long-distance hiking trail Attersee-Attergau leads from Steinbach am Attersee over the Bramhosen into the Alexenau further to Weyregg. Via Brandsteig to the Gahberg further on to the Hongar. After the Alpenberg (973 m) it goes over the Loisenwies, Trattberg following the signs to Kammer-Schörfling over to Seewalchen am Attersee.
If this stage is too long for you (two mountains have to be crossed), you should plan another overnight stay in Weyregg. The Attersee circumnavigation is extended to five days.
Take the right path for a short detour to a wooden sign in the middle of the forest indicating the summit Bramhosen (960 m) (in some maps also ‘Bramosen’). The path on the left takes you in northwestern direction into a forest and to the Seeleitenstüberl inn. From there, you walk down the path, which, further down, cuts short a forest road to Alexenau. To the left of the small settlement, there is the federal road and a bus stop. At the nearby lakeshore there is a pier of the boat service of Atterseeschifffahrt.
What follows is a flat stretch northwards on Dr.-Gleißner-Weg branching off on the right hand side – at first on gravel, then asphalt you walk through meadows and wooded slopes below Wachtberg and above the federal road. Enjoy the wonderful views over the lake and the Höllengebirge mountain range. In Weyregg turn left into Weyregger Straße before you get to the parish church. You arrive at the tourist office (No. 69) just before the restaurant Kaisergasthof Zur Post.
After crossing the street you continue along the lakeshore to the Lido (Strandbad), through Jubiläumsallee (parking) to the bridge across the Weyregger Bach stream and then straight ahead on a walkway to the northern end of the village. Before you reach the Guesthaus Staudinger (next to the restaurant Landeroith) you get back to Weyregger Straße on the right which you follow for about 350 metres to the plant shop Hemetsberger. There, you turn left into Plötzingerweg. The power line pole marks the beginning of the Brandsteig path, No. 5, up to the Gahberg mountain. It winds up to the Gahberg ridge through forested slopes and meadows passing by Brandnerhof. Terrific view across the lake and all the way to Schafberg mountain! Take to the right to pass by a farmhouse, continue on the asphalted access road taking you to the nearby Gahbergstraße which you follow leftwards across the entire ridge.
After a stretch of forest you pass by the observatory on Hintergahberg and the shingled Gahbergkapelle. A few metres further, you turn left into the marked hiking path to Kreuzingalm. It runs across the ridge to Schickermahd, passing Kreuzingalm inn (short but rewarding detour). About 3 km after the alpine pasture, you corss the forested Alpenberg and after a short descent you arrive at a fork, where a representation of St. Mary commemorates a bomb attack in 1945. Continue straight ahead and after the ‘Hongar‘ sign you reach the alpine inn Schwarz.
Walk back along the forested ridge to the fork and the representation of St. Mary. After the sign ‘Looh, Halbmoos‘ walk down the path and on rugged forest roads (No. 6) through the forested northern side of Alpenberg to the idyllic Loitzenwies (hunter’s house). Arriving there, you turn left and cross the wooded ridge of the Schörflinger Trattberg mountain on forest road No 3 until you get to the neighbourhood Oberhehenfeld am Sickingbach. The country inn Schneiderwirt will be happy to help you regain strength.
Walk left on the asphalted Sickinger Straße into the valley passing by the fire department and the renovated Poinerhaus building. At the next junction, take to the right onto Bachbauernstraße, then Marktwaldstraße across a forested saddle (560 m). When you get to open meadows, turn left towards Waldvilla. There, you turn right into Karl-Hausjell-Allee. Cross the bridge over the bypass road and continue into Kammer-Schörfling. The tourist office is in Hauptstraße (No. 7). Continue to the right across the bridge over Ager river and turn left into Seewalchen am Attersee.

Vis-à-vis users
PLEASE OBSERVE:
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
