Hammerwerkrunde Ottenschlag

When choosing your route, make sure it’s appropriate for your fitness level. Check to see if the restaurants and cafes you plan to visit along the way are open. Pack your fully charged cell phone and maps in your backpack. For cross-border trips, please always carry a passport or ID card with you.

Sturdy shoes, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, trekking poles if needed, first-aid kit (blister bandages), and plenty of food (snacks, granola bars, fruit, water).

You walk from the RV park to the Hubertus Chapel, then continue along the Sonnenweg, past the sports field and shooting range. After about 1 kilometer, you turn right into the forest. Then you walk through the so-called Fischwald until you emerge in Armschlag under the B36 bridge. You’ll walk through Mohndorf, cross the Große Krems River via the bridge—where the Ottenschlag Hammerwerk district begins—and turn left back into the forest before reaching the end of the village. Here, you’ll walk through the forest again toward Ottenschlag. You’ll now emerge from the woods on the western side of the village and head toward Schlossgasse. You’ll pass the lower village pond and then walk through the market square to the upper village pond, where you’ll already be able to see your destination—the RV park.

This trail is a “feel-good” hiking trail and therefore especially family-friendly!

You can stop for a break in the poppy village of Armschlag to enjoy some culinary delights!
