Footpaths
Gentle paths & wide landscape
Small ways. Big impact.
Sometimes you don't need big goals. No long distances.
In 360° Alpenland, special moments begin with the first step - a short evening walk or a fresh morning stroll.
On the move without having to go far
Stroll along the floodplain landscape around the 1,000-year-old town of Steyr, over bridges and footbridges along the Enns and Steyr rivers or through historic alleyways with views of old town houses. In Bad Hall, paths lead through the spa gardens, past old trees, over gentle hills and through green fields. And in the mountain world between Pyhrn and Priel, leisurely walks open up the view into the distance - without great metres in altitude, but with a real mountain backdrop.
