Stoder Valley Panorama Circular Trail (Circular Hiking World Hinterstoder)

From the beginning of the Kneipp area follow the river downstream, pass Pension Prielerkreuz and cross the river Steyr over the Schachingersteig bridge. Follow the path to the Poppenberg mountain (860m), which starts on the opposite side, next to the petrol station and leads steeply uphill to the “Stoder View” viewing platform.

From here you can enjoy stunning views of the valley. Stay on this altitude and hike along the ridge of the mountain above the Loigis Valley to Vorderstoder. The trail leads over farm roads, forest and meadow paths passing a number of farmhouses on the way directly into the village centre of Vorderstoder. Continue on the opposite side of the village – the Hutterer side – by following the road uphill and through meadows for about 1 km. Pass the farmhouses Hackl and Bärngut before the path forks off to the right, passes the Hutstückl farmhouse and leads towards the mountain range. From the Wartegggut farmhouse at 806 m above sea level, the road leads steeply downhill back into the valley. The circular path ends gently between the Country Hotel Gressenbauer and Hotel Poppengut in Hinterstoder, only a few minutes away from your starting point.
