Trail closures in the Koppental
Things to know for all hikers & bikers in Koppental
From 2nd to 20th May 2022, the cycle connection and the Koppental hiking trail between Obertraun and Bad Aussee, the Koppental cycle path, will be closed due to construction work.
Further Information
Open for hikers on weekends
The closure of the hiking trail will be lifted at weekends (Saturday &Sunday). For cyclists, there is generally an alternative route via the Koppen Pass (L 547 main road), which is relatively steep.
Note
The area around the small “Koppenwinkelsee” (Koppenwinkl lake) is not affected by the road closure. The nature reserve along the Traun can be hiked without restrictions.
Koppenbrüller Cave open
The hiking trail to the Koppenbrüller Cave is not affected. This can be hiked to a limited extent. It is not possible to continue hiking from the entrance to the cave through the Koppen valley during the week.
Thank you for your understanding
Enjoy your time out in Obertraun

Steeg - Bad Ischl hikeable again
Dear hiking friends, good news from the Salzkammergut Soleweg. The section between the Bad Goisern district of Steeg and Bad Ischl has been hikeable again since mid-July 2021. The rest of the trail in the direction of Ebensee will be reopened in 2022. The section from Hallstatt to Steeg (Bad Goisern) will then take place in 2024 - just in time for the Capital of Culture Year.
If you still don't want to wait that long and want to hike from Hallstatt to Bad Ischl, we can recommend the following alternative:
From Hallstatt by ferry to the station, on the “Ostuferwanderweg” (east shore hiking trail) to Steeg and then on the Salzkammergut Soleweg via Bad Goisern and Lauffen to Bad Ischl. The walking time for this alternative is about 6 hours. Refreshment stops: Weißenbachwirt, Steegwirt or Seeraunzn. We wish you a pleasant hike!
Another note for hikers in Hallstatt: The ascent via the Soleweg from Hallstatt to the Salzberg remains closed and parts of the World Heritage Hiking Trail in Hallstatt are also not accessible at the moment. Thank you for your understanding. Your editorial team.
Slot system for coaches
>From the spring of 2020 Hallstatt will receive a slot system for coaches. Each coach must then register via an online platform prior to the visit to Hallstatt.
