Discover Attendorf on Foot

Those who wish to explore Attendorf on foot can choose from several hiking routes. The Attendorfer Circular Trail No. 41, western section, follows the former municipal boundary of Attendorf. The Mariazellerweg (06) passes through Attendorfberg and Attendorf. From the “Goaßstall” waypoint, the Mariazellerweg and Trail 11 run parallel. You can therefore orient yourself by a historic boundary line, named places or a section shared by two trails.

The western section of the Attendorfer Circular Trail

The Attendorfer Circular Trail No. 41, western section, follows the former municipal boundary of Attendorf. The description “former municipal boundary” indicates the historic context of the route. The trail’s name also identifies Attendorf, the number 41 and the western section. If you want to map your hike by this former boundary line, the circular trail is the relevant point of reference. This distinguishes it from the other trails mentioned here, whose local connections are indicated by named places or a parallel route.

Mariazellerweg and Trail 11

The Mariazellerweg (06) passes through Attendorfberg and Attendorf, giving it a local connection to these named places. At the Goaßstall waypoint, it also has a specific connection to Trail 11: from there, the two trails run parallel. This waypoint marks the start of the shared section and provides a clear point of reference if you want to include this particular stretch in your plans. The place names and parallel route give you different points of reference for locating the Mariazellerweg in the Attendorf area.

Compare route references when planning

Your choice of route depends on which local reference matters most to you. For the Attendorfer Circular Trail, it is the former municipal boundary; for the Mariazellerweg, it is Attendorfberg and Attendorf, as well as the parallel route from Goaßstall. When preparing your hike, you can use these features to decide whether you would rather orient yourself by the historic boundary line, the named places or the section shared with Trail 11. This way, the comparison is based on concrete differences between the trails, not just their numbers.

Getting there by bus and train

A hiking corridor is also specified for getting there: the hiking connection from Straßgang via Attendorfberg into the Liebochtal and Kainachtal can be reached by bus and train. This may be relevant to your plans if you are considering a hike in this corridor. Before setting out, check the current timetables for your travel date and include both the outward and return journeys in your day’s plans. This lets you coordinate the connection with your specific travel plans instead of considering the route separately from how you will get there.

The Parkarena as a public space for meeting and relaxation

The Parkarena in Attendorf is a public space for meeting and relaxation. It adds a different local focus to the hiking trails: while the routes provide orientation for exploring on foot, the Parkarena’s role as a public space for meeting and relaxation takes centre stage. If you are planning a stay in Attendorf, you can consider these separately and decide whether hiking or a public space for meeting and relaxation will shape your experience of the area.
