More information

Coming from the Ennstalbundesstraße (B320), turn off at Haus im Ennstal/Oberhaus and follow the signs to Birnberg.

You start the circular route no. 16 from Oberes Dörfl am Birnberg. There you follow the signpost at the crossroads to the west to the Davidbauerhof and further to the edge of the forest. Here you take the small path southwest (left) down to the Untere Dörfl ("Birnberg center"). From there you walk along the Birnberg-Leitenweg (road) in a northeasterly direction back to the Oberes Dörfl crossroads.

You can extend the loop by hiking from the Unteres Dörfl eastwards to the vlg. Pircher farm. Then take the upper path back to the Oberer Dörfl. On this section you pass by the Sternenplatz Birnberg shortly before arrving back in the Oberes Dörfl.

If you have a little more time and feel like it, you can extend the circular route: through the Lower Village to the crossroads at the Pircher farm - from here take the upper path back towards the Upper Village. This option takes about an additional 45 minutes.

Arrival by public transport is not possible.

Here you will find all hiking maps and important brochures to download.
