The Ore Trail

---

The Ore Trail connects the four Geopark municipalities of Hüttau, Bischofshofen, Mühlbach, and St. Veit. It leads from the Larzenbach show mine to the municipal office in Hüttau, where the Mineral Museum is located, and over the Klammalm to the Hochgründeck. From there, it goes over the Hofersattel to the Hörndlwald chapel, down to the Buchberg. An alternative route is the path from Hüttau over the Fritzerberg. The trail continues down to Bischofshofen to the Visitor Center of the Geopark, located on the grounds of the Paul Ausserleitner Ski Jump (finale of the Four Hills Tournament, January 6).

It passes through the Gainfeld Waterfall, Bürglhöh, Knappensteig, and Kalten Bründl, leading to the Arthurhaus below the Mandlwände. From there, it goes through the Barbara Gorge and the old Mitterbergerstraße to Mühlbach, passing through Knappenheim and show mines. The trail then goes over the Pauss Bauer to the Pronebenalm and through forest paths to St. Veit, passing by the Hubertus and Fadlstoa chapels and the Sunnpau Mining Museum. From there, the trail continues to the Seelacken Museum, where it ends after approximately 54 km.

For easy orientation, the Ore Trail is equipped with signs every few hundred meters, as shown below, indicating the direction.
