Passing the ensemble of the Sensenschmiede Museum, you go via Heiligenkreuz and on the old Ottsdorf church path to Ottsdorf. Through the Erlgraben valley, the path leads to Grassnerkreuz and further to Sattelhald and Gradnalm. The return route leads from Sattelhald via the Krems source.
Hiking trail: K93
Directions:From the parking lot, hike past the ensemble of the Sensenschmiede Museum. Further on, it goes via Heiligenkreuz and along the old Ottsdorf church path. You hike comfortably between fields and meadows to Ottsdorf.
In good flying weather, gliders can be observed here during takeoff and landing.
The path through the Erlgraben valley then brings you to Grassnerkreuz and further on a footpath through beautiful forests to Sattelhald. Hopefully, you brought enough to drink, as there are hardly any refreshment options on this hike. From there, it continues to Gradnalm with the alpine hut only occasionally operated. Here, the view to the Kremsmauer rock face is overwhelming.
On the same path, you hike back to Sattelhald and downhill to the Krems source, where the Krems springs from the rock as a small stream. Following the course of the Krems, you come via Pfustergut (beautiful wrought iron cross) back to the village of Micheldorf, returning to the starting point.
Tip:Climate-friendly to the National Park region - Micheldorf station in Upper Austria: By train, you reach the starting point for this hike in about 1 hour from Linz and about 2.5 hours from Vienna.Safety guidelines:
No refreshment options on the way, so bring drinks and a snack if needed.

Beschreibung
Die Gegend um Micheldorf ist seit der Jungsteinzeit besiedelt. Bereits während der Hallstatt-Periode (750-400 v. Chr.) bestand auf dem Georgenberg eine Fliehburg mit doppeltem Wall.Alle zwei Jahre - immer am Sonntag nach Georg (23.4.) - findet der Georgiritt statt. Mit prachtvollen, altertümlichen Kostümen geschmückte Reiter und Pferde ziehen durch den Ort auf den Georgenberg, der mit dem Hochzeitskirchlein und den prähistorischen Ausgrabungen zu den beliebtesten Ausflugszielen zählt.
Neben der Georgibergkirche ist der Gasthof von Familie Hebesberger.

Im Micheldorfer Himmelreich, ein „geschützter Landschaftsteil“, blüht es wie sonst nur an wenigen Orten. Farbenfrohe Frühlings-Krokusse eröffnen den Jahresreigen. Besonders empfehlenswert ist ein Besuch zur Orchideenblüte im Mai und Juni. 16 verschiedene heimische Orchideenarten wurden im Himmelreich gezählt, dazu kommen fünf verschiedene Arten des Enzian. Die Wiesen werden bewusst nur einmal im Jahr gemäht und das nicht vor Juli. Das begünstigt bodenbrütende Vögel und ist mit ein Grund, warum gerade hier eine große Artenvielfalt der fliegenden Zeitgenossen heimisch geworden ist.

Auf historischem Boden, direkt an den Wurzeln der europäischen Industriegeschichte, befindet sich das Sensen Museum Micheldorf. Am Standort der ehemaligen "Sensenschmiede am Gries" wurden hier über 400 Jahre lang Sensen erzeugt und millionenfach in die gesamte Welt exportiert.
Der Industriepionier Caspar Zeitlinger führte den Betrieb im 19.Jahrhundert zu größter Blüte. 1845 beschäftigte er bereits über 400 Mitarbeiter und war damit einer der größten und bedeutendsten Unternehmer der gesamten Monarchie.
Ein Besuch im Sensen Museum ist eine Zeitreise in diese vergangene Epoche. Authentisch erhaltene Gebäude und zahlreiche Originalgegenstände lassen den Alltag von Caspar und Josepha Zeitlinger, ihrer Familie, Arbeiter und Arbeiterinnen lebendig werden und erzählen von ihren Sorgen und Nöten ebenso wie von ihren Träumen und Visionen.

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.
