From the summer car park, take the forest road up to the Oxenalm. Continue to the Vordere Mörsbachalm or to the Riesneralm mountain station.

A forest road leads you up and right into the centre of the Riesneralm. It's really ‘cool’ up here at the Oxen. Not just the food, the view and the innkeepers. Also the reservoir right next door.

More information

Coming from the B320, at the Trautenfels junction, head towards Irdning. Then head towards Donnersbach, Donnersbachwald and shortly after the tennis court, turn right towards Mörsbachwirt and the summer car park.

From the summer car park, follow the signs along the forest path to the Oxenalm. From there you have the option of continuing via the Hintere to the Vordere Mörsbachalm and back to the car park (approx. 1.5 hours), or up to the Riesneralm mountain station (approx. 1 hour) and from there take the chairlift back down to the valley.

In September, the landlord invites you to ‘Hirschlosen’. And you can do that really well here.

There is no bus service to Donnersbachwald during the summer holidays.
