Paths covering:
As with all chapels, wayside shrines and wayside crosses that we pass on our hike, we will find a brief description and explanation here.
We now walk around the church and cross Marktstraße at the tobacconist's. We follow Herrnwiesweg in an easterly direction and soon discover the Bildstock of St. Joseph on the left-hand side of the entrance to the retirement home. From there, we continue walking, cross Pfaffinger Bezirksstraße and immediately see the covered wooden footbridge on which we cross over to the other side of the Vöckla.
A few steps further on, at a fork in the path, there is another wayside shrine, we turn left and walk along the so-called Herrnsteg back to Pfaffinger Bezirksstraße. Here we cross the road again and walk along the pavement back towards Au. At the narrow intersection, we turn right into Haushamer Straße. A few metres further on, we reach another fork in the road. Here we now walk uphill through the "Maurachen Allee", a special kind of natural monument. After the ascent, we come to the Haushamerfeld, which is known far beyond the borders. Here, the Peasant War Monument commemorates the dramatic events of the Peasants' Wars around 1625. The "Frankenburg Dice Game" is also held every two years to commemorate these tragic clashes between peasants and landlords.
Our hike now takes us down to the Pfaffing village hall and then, past the tennis courts, a little steeper up to the Pfaffing parish church with its magnificent vicarage.
The small church in Pfaffing is one of the oldest places of worship in the district of Vöcklabruck. The Romanesque masonry of the church dates back to the period between 1050 and 1150. During the Gothic period in the 15th century, the church was extended to the west. In 1631, which is cited in reference books as the year of construction, the exterior of the church was given a new, baroque plaster finish.
North of the small church, we reach the village of Holzpoint on a narrow footpath and cycle path. A short detour is worthwhile here. To do this, we turn right and shortly afterwards turn left down the narrow village road to reach the striking picture post of the Kibler family at the back of the village (after around 200 metres).
However, we have to return to the goods road. We walk in a westerly direction towards the next village. Shortly before Frieding, we turn left to a weather cross standing alone in a wide field (about 300 metres). Back in the village of Frieding, we can visit the magnificent house chapel of the Konrad family. (This is permitted despite a fence!)
Shortly after Frieding - a short distance before the road leads into a small forest - a dirt track branches off to the left in a southerly direction. Good visibility along this section of the route provides an unrivalled panoramic view of the alpine mountain landscape of the Salzkammergut. Finally, we reach the village of Ziegelhaid.
In Ziegelhaid, we keep to the right and walk westwards out of the village.
We soon reach the next crossroads, where we turn left. Shortly before we turn left again onto a dirt track at a small bend in the road, we have the opportunity to take another detour. Staying on the road for about 150 metres, there is a small shrine on the right-hand side.
The field path mentioned above leads slightly downhill to Fischham. Immediately after a slight left turn, you will see the so-called Daxl Chapel of the Neubacher family on the right-hand side of the village road, which you are of course welcome to visit.
After visiting the Daxl Chapel, we keep to the right and leave Fischham on a narrow dirt track. This former church path leads us down and over to the Pfadi-Alm. On this section of the circular hike, there is another short detour (approx. 200 metres) to a marterl on the left.
From the Pfadi Alm, we then hike up to the recently renovated Vöcklamarkt Kalvarienbergkirche, a small church with a special history.
On the Kalvarienberg, Vöcklamarkt lies at our feet, so to speak, and we once again enjoy the wonderful view of the incomparable landscape of the Attergau.
Finally, we return to the starting point by taking the stepped descent with the Stations of the Cross chapels.

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.
