Old Pilgrimage Trail

The old pilgrimage trail leads you from the gorge exit (Dr. Vogelgesang gorge) in Spital am Pyhrn over the Arlingsattel into Styria to Ardning.

From the exit of the Dr. Vogelgesang-Gorge follow trail nr. 613 to the Ochsenwaldhütte (alpine hut, managed during pasture times beginning of June to end of September) about 20 min.

After a short stop at the beautiful chapel the steep ascent leads through a larch forest to the Arlingalm (not managed pasture) and to the Arlingsaddle 1.466 m with stunning long distance views into the valleys Teichtal and Ennstal. From here pilgrimage trail nr. 613 leads in steep serpentines to the Ardningalm, on to Ardning and to the pilgrimage church Frauenberg in the Styrian part of the Ennstal valley, walking time from the Arlingsaddle about 3,5 hours.

From the Arlingalm pasture a flat forest road leads slightly descending to trail tr. 601 and to the huts Rohrauerhaus or back to the Bosruckhütte, walking time about 30 min or 45 min.
