Aisdorf: Hiking, Cycling and Local History

Aisdorf’s local history and the hiking and cycling routes described here provide clear starting points for a stay. Historical references range from traces of Urnfield-period settlements to a large farm that stood in the village around the year 1100. When choosing a route, the Luziarunde, whose hiking trail 1A leads to Aisdorf, differs from the Aisdorfrunde, a circular route that returns to its starting point. This gives you specific local and trail references to help plan your stay.

Local History Between Radensbach and Pauernhof

Aisdorf was formerly called Aysdorf. People lived on the Radensbach hill above Aisdorf during the Urnfield period; traces of this early settlement are still visible today. The surviving remains of the “Radensbach Castle” can be found at Burgboden above Aisdorf. The Urnfield-period settlement traces are on the Radensbach hill; the surviving remains of the “Radensbach Castle” are at Burgboden above Aisdorf. The “Pauernhof” farm stood in Aisdorf around the year 1100; the village was formerly called Aysdorf.

Around the year 1100, a large farm called “Pauernhof” stood in Aisdorf and is considered the forerunner of today’s Toman and Neuschmied estates. The farm’s historic name should be distinguished from the village’s former name, Aysdorf. Count Poto donated the Pauernhof, along with its associated properties in Uttendorf, to Millstatt Abbey in Carinthia.

Hiking and Cycling on Different Routes

On the Luziarunde, hiking trail 1A passes the protected Luzia biotope and continues to Aisdorf. The destination is a clear point of difference when choosing a route: on this hiking connection, Aisdorf is the destination, while the Aisdorfrunde returns to its starting point. This makes it easy to distinguish the hike to a destination from the circular route by their format.

The Aisdorfrunde runs from Aisdorf along the road to Hacklbrücke and back to the starting point on the Tauern Cycle Path beside the Salzach. Another described section follows a meadow path through the Luzia Lacke European Protected Area in the direction of Aisdorf. The route is described by more than just its start and end points: Hacklbrücke, the Salzach, and the Tauern Cycle Path provide specific reference points for the return journey, while Luzia Lacke and the meadow path are named for the section heading toward Aisdorf. You can use these waypoints and directions to find your way.

Planning Your Journey

The start and end area of the Aisdorfrunde is accessible by the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn railway and bus route 670; the stops are a few minutes’ walk from the route’s start and end points. Check the timetables before planning so you can coordinate your arrival and departure with the times you have in mind.
