Route description Circular hike around the Harzberg

We start our hike in front of the thermal spa in Bad Vöslau and follow Malfattiweg or Jägermayerstraße uphill until we turn left into Florastraße. At the roundabout, we choose the path through the Kurpark, past the Kursalon, until it leads into the forest meadow. From here, we follow the path towards Harzberg (yellow). Upon reaching the Harzberg, we arrive at the Harzberg Tower. We follow the path (blue) eastward towards Vöslauer Hütte. Soon we come to a signpost for the Bad Vöslau climbing garden 2018, which we follow (blue-yellow). After the climbing garden, at the first fork, we keep left and follow the markings (blue-yellow) until we reach the Dolomitenwerk. We now follow the path westward on the quarry loop until we reach a marked fork. We shorten the way by keeping right and shortly after arrive at three caves (on the right). Continuing along the path, after the caves we take the first path to the left and rejoin the quarry loop until it merges into the yellow-marked path. At the next crossroads, we take the left path heading east. We reach a signpost for Harzberg and turn right onto a narrow path with steps leading downhill. We reach an asphalted road and follow it through the Kurpark to the roundabout. From there, we return via Maital street to the thermal spa.

Safety information

Despite the most careful research, there may be unforeseen short-, medium-, or long-term closures on the routes (e.g., due to forestry restricted areas by landowners). Parking options recommended by us may sometimes be private or subject to fees – please pay attention to the signs on site. Some paths may partially or entirely pass through fee-charging areas/businesses (e.g., nature parks or gorges). This is usually explicitly pointed out in the description. All information is provided without guarantee and use of the paths is at your own risk. Any path closures and notices from hunters and landowners must be observed.
