More information
On the Ennstal federal road B 320, exit at the roundabout in Trautenfels. There is a public car park on the right before the level crossing.
You start your tour at the Trautenfels train station or in the adjacent parking lot. From there you hike up to Trautenfels Castle and next to the castle bridge down to the Rieger fish restaurant. At the curve at the access road, turn left and then cross under the main road. Then turn right over the footbridge and along the road in the direction of the roundabout. Now follow the B145 towards Ausseerland and at the Unterburger exit through the underpass to Unterburg. Into the village and after the nursing home continue left. Out of Unterburg and through a small forest to Untergrimming.
From there along the Kapuzinersteig up to the village of Pürgg. Here it is worth looking at the parish church of St. George and the associated cemetery. The view down to the castle, to the Ennsboden and to the west to the Grimming is an impressive sight. Passing the Krenn inn and the Johannes chapel, you hike from Pürgg back down in the direction of the Unterburg. A bit in the direction of Stainach and then via the Schranz-Hof it now goes back over to Trautenfels to your starting point.
From Trautenfels Castle, only a few minutes away, the detour to the Neuhaus church ruins is worthwhile (about 30 minutes round trip).
Take the ÖBB regional trains to Trautenfels station. There you start your hike. At the car park at Trautenfels Castle you will find a hiking information board.
