The Obersdorfer Rundweg runs between gentle hills, mysterious moors and exciting cultural history - an educational themed trail in Ausseerland, which is dedicated to the interplay of geology, landscape forms and regional history. The easy circular hike, which starts in Bad Mitterndorf, runs through flat terrain and is ideal for a relaxed family hike in Ausseerland.
The start is at Haus Trinkl at the western entrance to Bad Mitterndorf. The trail runs through the settlement area of Rödschitz Reith and is identical to forest trail no. 17 in the direction of Obersdorf. After a walk through the idyllic village, the trail circles the Kumitzberg - the famous Maria Kumitz pilgrimage church, a popular excursion destination in the Bad Mitterndorf hiking area, is enthroned on the hillside.
The route continues through an underpass beneath the main road along the Obersdorfer Moos, an ecologically valuable moorland landscape. The return route begins at the “Pleam” farm via the Laasenweg trail (trail no. 22), which leads back to the starting point at Haus Trinkl.
Exciting discoveries along the way:
The Obersdorf circular trail is not just a hike, but also a journey through time through the development of the Bad Mitterndorf basin:
- How were today's rocks and landscapes formed?
- What traces did the Ice Age leave behind in the numerous moors and depressions?
- Why does the watershed of two river systems meet here?
- Which paths were once used to transport ore from the Teltschenalm into the valley?
- And what stories do the old houses of Obersdorf tell?
Information boards along the route vividly explain the geological processes and cultural characteristics of this unique hiking region in Ausseerland.
