Jauerling Round 06: Raxendorf-Mühldorf

Sturdy hiking boots, rain protection, sufficient drinks and food

From the marketplace in Raxendorf, we follow the main street past the lovingly restored arsenal and the current fire brigade museum through the village. To the left, we take a well-walkable farm track up to the small hamlet of Frühwirt. We pass through the idyllic village and continue hiking east through the forest. Below the summit of the Großer Berg, we reach the highest point of the route and follow the path in switchbacks down to Trandorf. At the fortified church, we enter the village and follow the main street to the left. At the café in the curve, we can take a cozy break. Afterwards, we keep left and hike on an idyllic farm track to Amstall. At the entrance of the village, we cross the Amstaller Bach and then immediately turn sharply right to follow the road along the brook to Wegscheid. In the village, we turn left onto the main street, keep left after the last house, and then hike uphill on a farm track to the hamlet of Ötz. On the right side of the road, we see the Celtic stone, an old waymark from the Celtic era. We pass through the village, then turn right and follow the path to Mühldorf, where we end the stage at the marketplace.

At the municipal office near the marketplace in Raxendorf or in the center of Mühldorf.

The Celtic stone in Ötz is worth seeing. The exact meaning and age of the stone are not known.

At the Hoher Jauerling, the nature park offers various hiking trails. The path "Above us the wide, wide sky" is well suited for a walk and provides information about the Jauerling, the nature park communities, and the flora and fauna in the region. Younger hikers also find motivation to walk through the forest along the 10 stations which can be explored with an app. More information at www.naturpark-jauerling.at.
