Silberbergerweg

Hiking trail in Kaltenberg in the Mühlviertel region
A secret resting place by the water, the valley of the Höllenbach stream, the Kammererkapelle chapel at 980 metres with magnificent views as far as the mountains: set off on the Silberbergerweg trail and discover the tranquillity and nature of the Mühlviertel region as well as the hospitality of the mountain inns.

The Silberberger Weg is a circular hiking trail. With a length of 14 km and an altitude difference of around 340 metres, it is a beautiful and easy hiking trail in Upper Austria. Depending on your fitness level, you can hike the trail in around 4 hours. However, you should definitely plan time to enjoy the nature and views along the way and immerse yourself in the culinary delights of the Mühlviertel region.

Refreshments along the way
At the starting point in Kaltenberg, the traditional Kaltenbergerhof inn with its traditional cuisine invites you to stop for a bite to eat. In the cosy restaurant or in the guest garden, you will be well catered for.
Shortly after the start in Kaltenberg is the Langoth snack station, which will spoil you with a savoury snack, hearty meals and homemade pastries.
Halfway along the route, shortly after the Kammererkreuz cross, the farm shop and schnapps pavilion of the Thauerböck organic distillery awaits you. The schnapps pavilion invites you to linger and savour the organic distillates. The farm shop sells delicious organic products (whisky, Tschin, grain brandies, liqueurs, bacon, cabanossi, pitch oil) as well as specialities and snacks from Mühlviertel partner businesses (drinks, crispbread, sweets).

Naming
The Silberberg Trail leads from Kaltenberg via the village of Silberberg, which gives the trail its name. The name is presumably derived from "Katzensilber", the name given to the shiny chips in the granite rock. With a bit of luck, you might get chatting to the locals at the Silberberg village table.

Trail variants
The Silberberger Weg can also be hiked in two different short variants, as there is a detour about halfway along the route (in the Ebenort area). The trail can therefore also be hiked in two shorter versions. However, if you don't want to miss out on anything, we recommend the long full loop.
