Hubertusweg 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).

Walk from the RV park to the Hubertus Chapel. Then turn right and follow the trail markers. After about 3.5 kilometers through the forest, you’ll return to the Hubertus Chapel and eventually back to the starting point. Arrive and take a deep breath: The health resort of Bärnkopf is located in the heart of Austria’s largest contiguous forest area, the Weinsberger Forest, at 1,000 meters above sea level. Bärnkopf is the ideal starting point for hikes and mountain bike tours. In summer, the Schlesingerteich offers opportunities for fishing, camping, and swimming; in winter, there are numerous trails for cross-country skiing. At the Woodcutter’s Museum, you’ll learn a lot about the area’s development, from its early settlement to modern forestry practices.

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