- Insider tip
The starting point is the parking lot at Pizzeria Dolce Vita. Follow the signs on the road briefly towards Zimeck, then descend into the Steyr Gorge and continue downstream to the mouth of the Krummen Steyrling (approx. 30 minutes). From there, do not cross the footbridge but follow the Krummen Steyrling upstream on the left bank with a constant up and down until just past a wooden platform (approx. 25 minutes). Leaving the gorge, it takes a few minutes to climb up to the district of Zinken, then 100 meters along the road to the Hoisn House and back to the starting point via side streets.
Directions:The Flötzersteig Loop combines the experience of the impressive Steyr River with a hike on the left bank of the Krummen Steyrling, where traces of its former use as a timber-floating watercourse are repeatedly visible. Timber barriers caught the floating logs here. There was even a wooden lift that transported those logs that were not to be floated further downstream on the Steyr out of the difficult-to-access gorge. Timber floating took place in Molln until 1949.
In terms of wildness and romance, the Flötzersteig is by no means inferior to the gorge paths of the Reichraminger Hintergebirge. On the way back, you also pass by the Hoisn House, an old jaw harp smithy.
As with the gorge path from Pizzeria Dolce Vita, take the road briefly towards Zimeck, then down into the Steyr Gorge and continue downstream to the mouth of the Krummen Steyrling (approx. 30 minutes). From there, do not cross the footbridge but follow the Krummen Steyrling upstream on the left bank with constant ups and downs until shortly after a wooden platform (approx. 25 minutes). Leaving the gorge, it takes a few minutes to climb to the district of Zinken, then 100 meters along the road to the Hoisn House and back to the starting point via side streets.
Pure walking time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Variant 1:
From the mouth area, do not follow the Krummen Steyrling, but leave the gorge via a zigzag path up to the district of Zinken (“Zinken-Eck”) and along the upper edge of the Steyr Gorge, first through a residential area, then through woods and meadows back to Pizzeria Dolce Vita (approx. 20 minutes).
Variant 2:
From the platform, do not leave the gorge but follow the Steyrling further upstream to the sewage treatment plant in the district of Gstadt (approx. 10 minutes). From there, on Piesslingerstraße either towards Maultrommel Wimmer or Hoisn House (5 minutes) and continue as above, or cross the bridge and continue on Haunoldmühlstraße to the Gradau parking lot (10 minutes), or cross Piesslingerstraße via a steep asphalt path (“Alter Nockerberg”) towards Molln center (15 minutes).
Safety guidelines:Surefootedness is required!

Das Hoisn Haus am Ortsrand von Molln zählte einst zu den größten Mollner Maultrommelschmieden und gibt Einblicke in „das Leben der Maultrommelschmiede von damals“. Neben der original erhaltene Maultrommelschmiede um 1900 samt Werkstätte, zeigt es die historischen Räume wie die Hoisn Stube, die Esse und das Frauenzimmer und erzählt von Werten und der Lebensweise früherer Generationen.
Der 2004 gegründete Verein "Freunde des Hoisnhauses" revitalisierte das bereits baufällig gewordene Haus, mit dem Ziel, dieses Kulturgut und Ambiente als Schaustätte zugänglich zu machen, um altes Wissen über Handwerk, Brauchtum und Leben neu zu vermitteln. Jährlich im August findet hier der beliebte Hoisn Kirtag statt.
Kunst in der Landschaft: Die weltgrößte Maultrommel steht in Molln, das Monument ist frei zugänglich. TIPP! Besichtigung & Führung in der Maultrommel Manufaktur & Schauwerkstätte Wimmer-Bades gegen VORANMELUNG möglich!
Errichtet 2023 von Maultrommel Erzeugung Wimmer-Bades
Wir leben unser Handwerk!
Traditionelle Erzeugungsstätte der Mollner Maultrommel seit dem 17. Jhdt direkt am Fuße und Flussufer der Krummen Steyrling. Ganz nach diesem Grundsatz haben wir ein Kunstwerk geschaffen, das - wie alle unsere Maultrommeln - mit viel Feingefühl in wertvoller Handarbeit und mehreren hundert Arbeitsstunden sowie etlichen Arbeitsschritten hergestellt wurde. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt der Form & Ausführung des Maultrommel Monuments. Die typische Rombus-(Raute)Form des gesamten Stahlrahmens wie auch die detailgetreu ausgetriebenen Schenkel zeichnen das Monument als maßstabsgetreue Skulptur im Großformat aus.
Mit einer Größe von über sechs Meter und einem Gewicht von knapp zwei Tonnen ist diese Weltrekord-Maultrommel die größte, einer originalen & traditionellen Mollner Maultrommelform nachempfundene Skulptur. Die Umsetzung dieses Projekts sehen wir im Familienbetrieb Wimmer-Bades als wertvollen Beitrag zur Belebung und Erhaltung unserer jahrhundertealten Tradition und deren Kulturgüter in unserem schönen Steyrtal.
Die Erzeugung der Mollner Maultrommel wurde 2014 von der österr. UNESCO-Kommission als Immaterielles Kulturerbe anerkannt.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.

Moreover, we have no influence on the design or contents of the websites to which hyperlinks on www.bergethermestadt.at lead or from which hyperlinks lead to www.bergethermestadt.at.
