Ackerling - Round Tour

The starting point for this nature-loving hike is the free car park (4864 Attersee - near the house Abtsdorf 71) next to the large children's playground in the centre of Abtsdorf. Take an hour for the hike. It is ideal with children or as a morning or evening walk. The path is very well signposted (yellow signposts) and marked (red-white-red).

A visit to the church of pilgrimage to St Laurentius opposite is always worthwhile. With a bit of luck, you will find black candles for sale in the church, which the locals light in their houses during heavy storms!  

The following description is anti-clockwise and starts in a westerly direction: 

From the playground, follow the yellow signposts "Ackerling-Rundweg" in a westerly direction. After approx. 200 metres you will reach a crossroads. There is a small shrine on the left-hand side of the road and you will see the yellow signposts again. Before the crossroads with the main road to Wildenhag, the hiking trail turns left into a passable dirt track. Follow this for approx. 700 metres before you reach a small forest after a beautiful view of the Höllengebirge mountains. After another 100 metres you come to a small wooden bridge. Immediately before the bridge (follow the signposts), turn left along the Ackerlingbach stream through an idyllic forest. Please do not leave the path here to protect the game. After approx. 300 metres, a shady bench awaits you at the edge of the forest! Take a break and listen into the forest. Please do not leave any rubbish behind, even cigarette butts can be deadly for birds! Now follow the path along the meadows and fields in a straight direction. You can already see the church in Abtsdorf   Back in the village, you will pass the Hotel Alpenblick. It is then only 200 m along Abtsdorfer Straße back to the car park.
