Kaltenbergweg

Make sure that the route you choose matches your fitness level. Check whether the restaurants you want to visit along the way are open. Pack your charged mobile phone and maps in your backpack. For cross-border tours, always carry a passport or identity card.

Sturdy footwear, functional clothing, sun and rain protection, maps, if necessary trekking poles, first aid kit (blister plasters), sufficient provisions (snack, muesli bars, fruit, water).

From the info platform in the town centre, walk on the B119 towards Arbesbach and turn right after about 200 metres. From there, follow the path about 50 metres and then turn right at the Kaltenbergweg sign. You pass a stone niche that probably served for message transmission in ancient times, and then follow the path past the Pfarrerstuhl (power spot). Then you hike through pristine nature back to Altmelon.
