Trail Reviews
Day 2 on the Attersee-Attergau long-distance hiking trail. The trail leads from Steinbach am Attersee over the Bramhosen into the Alexenau and on to Weyregg. We started at the church in Steinbach am Attersee. The Binder nativity scene is located right next to the entrance. https://atterwiki.at/index.php?title=Binder-Krippe From the church, the hiking trail leads to the village of Seefeld. After the bridge over the Kienbach stream, turn right onto the Blümingen road to the "Biohof Schwanser" farm. Continuing right on the forest road, following the signs, you reach the highest point (960 m) of this stage of the Bramhosen. Following the signs, you descend into the Alexenau. First on a narrow, slippery path, then on a wider path down to the "Hotel-Gasthof Bramhosen." On the Dr. Following the Heinrich Gleißnerweg trail, past the lake alpacas and a beautiful view of Lake Attersee and the opposite shore, we continue to Weyregg. The hike began with cloudy skies. As we climbed up to Bramhosen, the sun shone. We had barely begun the descent when it clouded over again, with occasional light drizzle. Shortly after Alexenau, we had to put on our rain gear again because, of course, another heavy rain shower caught us. Shortly before Weyregg, the sun shone again.
