This pram-friendly hike leads along paved paths through the idyllic Laasen nature reserve in Bad Mitterndorf. The circular route is flat and ideal for relaxed family outings in Styria, whether with a baby carriage or as a leisurely stroll.

The starting point is the parking lot between Steirerhütte and Eselalm, near the riding school. From here, the route follows the “Obersdorfer Rundweg” signs and leads along a paved path directly through the protected Laasen nature reserve.

There is a small pond at the edge of the path - a nice place for a short break and a great nature highlight for children. The trail then continues towards the Salzkammergut main road B145. This is crossed at the former “Gasthaus zur Einkehr” inn.

The accompanying path then leads along the B145 back to the riding school. After crossing the road one last time, you return to the starting point.

This easy family hike impresses with its varied nature and pram-friendly paths throughout - perfect for little explorers.

Tip for reporting an emergency - give answers to the six W questions:

  • What has happened?
  • How many injured?
  • Where did the accident happen? (possibly GPS coordinates)
  • Who is reporting? (callback number)
  • When did the accident happen?
  • Weather at the scene of the accident?

Please note the disclaimer!

 

Proper backpacking makes many things easier:
  • pack heavy things first.
  • The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket.
  • All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.
  • An emergency kit including blister plaster belongs in every backpack and a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended!
