More than 600 km of well marked hiking trails take hiking enthusiasts into nearly every corner of the area between Pyhrn and Priel. The trails lead over blooming alpine meadows, along rivers and streams or easy climbing hills up to rugged rock walls. Many trails were designed as theme trails for young and old. There are also paths suitable for prams.

Many managed alpine pastures, huts and mountain restaurants invite mountain freaks and leisure hikers to a well deserved rest. Its not only the impressive view, but the local delicacies offerd by the alpine dairymaids and hosts. Best don’t worry about calories when enjoying your roast pork and dumpling, farmers doughnut and so on. A good schnapps from the region will set you right again.

The region of Pyhrn-Priel sets new standards with its new unified system of marking trails within the villages and regions. Coming from the European hiking and mountain trail concept, all walks, paths, circular hiking trails, experience trails and alpine climbs have been marked in an uniform and interconnected manner, indicating trail number and level of difficulty. To ease orientation altitudes are also indicated. It was also a main concern to keep the hiking trails away from traffic roads. Viewing points as well as cultural and nature sites were additionally marked. The signage is controlled on a regular basis by the alpine club and local persons in charge.

Hiking trails are a nature experience and each hike adds to the experience of an eventful
hiking holiday
