On the circular hiking trails 4 - 7 we find a corresponding short description and explanation at all chapels, wayside shrines and wayside crosses.
The first highlight of these hikes is right at the beginning the parish church Vöcklamarkt "Maria Himmelfahrt", which is also called the "cathedral of the Vöcklatal" because of its size.
We start our hike at the municipal office in Vöcklamarkt and now follow the markings through the village and leave it by turning left into Schroppgasse shortly after the GH Rauchenschwandner. Now we hike in a southerly direction to the Marktwald. Shortly after the underpass of the Westbahn line we come to a plague chapel. From there, the trail climbs moderately steeply into the Marktwald.

As soon as we have left the forest again, we can already see the Baumann Chapel. Now we hike further in the direction of Mösendorf. Here we have to cross the busy B1 (be careful!). In Mösendorf it is worth taking a short detour (approx. 150 m) to the Filialkirche Mösendorf. In front of the church there is also an old Roman stone, which reminds us that a major Roman road once passed by here.

We now hike back to the turnoff "Güterweg Mösendorf". We should not miss the short detour (about 150m) to the Padinger Chapel. Our hike now leads us through the village settlement area and then further on 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 prominent place we reach a fork in the path, where a shortcut can be made via variant 3 (route 6). However, via V1 (Route 4) we hike along a beautiful hiking trail on the right and shortly after come to a small pond where it is wonderful to relax.

We continue on the slightly ascending path and pass the Binder-Reisinger wayside shrine and the Schmidhamer Wegkeuz. Finally, the path leads us into the large village of Schmidham. On the old Attergau Landesstraße, which once led through the middle of the village, it is worth taking a short detour (approx. 200m) to the left to the Filialkirche Schmidham. Here at the village church we have to decide whether to continue hiking along Route V1 (Route 4) to Maulham, Reichenthalheim and Hörading or whether to choose the shorter Route V2 (Route 5), which takes us in the direction of Walchen.

On Route V2 we continue hiking from the Schmidham village church in an easterly direction and at the end of the village we come to the Attergau Landesstraße (Schmidham bypass). At the junction of the Dorfstraße with the Landesstraße, we turn left and hike on the slightly sloping sidewalk down to Unterholz or Walchen. In the area of a sharp left turn we have to cross the road (be careful!) to get up to the village chapel of Walchen.

We then continue our hike along the village road. We pass the village hall and already see the next wayside shrine in front of us, which was once erected on the left hand side next to the goods road Walchen.

Before the road starts to descend more steeply, we turn right and arrive in the small village of Hötzing. The path now leads us in a large arc down to the inn "Walchner Keller" or to the B1 federal highway. This section of the trail offers a magnificent view down to the mighty tower of the Vöcklamarkt parish church.

In order to cross the wide B1 without danger, we have to proceed on the right hand side on the path running parallel to the federal road until we reach the modern traffic lights. We then follow the sidewalk or the sidewalk and reach the station of the Attergauer Lokalbahn. Via the underpass we then also cross the Westbahn line and finally hike back to the starting point of our circular hike.

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.
