At the suggestion of the chairman of the road improvement association Ramsau Karl Rainer, the market town of Bad Goisern has signed a circular hiking trail on already existing walking paths (yellow signs). He is named after the deserving former spa director and honorary citizen Karl Pilz. As a starting point, we take the village of Weißenbach in the north of Bad Goisern, where we first walk past the Sulzstube along the brine pipeline route to Wildpfad. Below us is a branch of the Traun, where wild ducks and swans like to stay, so there is something to look at. Behind it flows the Traun, which we meet again and again.
Difficulty
Moderate
Mostly stable trail tread with some variability, with unavoidable obstacles 8in/20cm tall or less. Other obstacles such as rock gullies and steep sections may exist. Ideal for lower intermediate riders.
