Description
Directly on the Wiener Alpenbogen path lies the community of Walpersbach. Here a beautiful circular hiking route invites you to explore the area.

The local trail passes several churches and chapels and offers great views, such as at the Harrathof/Grafengrab viewpoint. Over 13 km long, the route goes uphill and downhill, requiring good fitness. For rest and refreshment, for example, the Gasthaus Bretterecker and the Backhendlstation Stupfenreith invite you. You should not miss this circular hiking route!
