    Very pretty round hike that takes us from the parking lot below the church on Georgenberg first to Pröller (740 m), then first flat, then quite steeply to Ochsenkogel (906 m) and over the connecting path to Zederbauernspitz (1,075 m). Return to the starting point on a slightly different path.

    Author’s recommendation

    You can extend the round to Steinkogel (1,097 m). However, this turns the described round into quite a considerable day hike. Way markings are nowhere to be found, but there are unmarked paths.

    Safety information

    Basically an easy but partly unmarked hiking round. Therefore, a hiking map or a GPS track and a certain sense of orientation are highly recommended.

    Tips and suggestions

    A visit to the church on Georgenberg is highly recommended.

    Roadbook

    We start at a small parking lot below the church on Georgenberg. On the hiking trail that heads west here, we go uphill a little, but already after the first bend we follow a path that branches off to the left, flat, to the Josefswarte with a wonderful view of the Church of Saint George. We continue on this path flat until we reach a crossroads (sign "Musikersteig"). Now steeply uphill to the right to the cross at Pröller (740 m) with a (in need of renovation) bench.

    Continuing in the same direction, you soon reach a forest road. On this (straight) downhill to a large intersection. Here we now follow the red-white-red marked "Prälatenweg," which always runs a few meters above a forest road.

    Attention: After about 10 minutes of walking, an unmarked but hardly missable path branches off to the left. Mostly quite steep on this one, up a forest slope to the summit cross at Ochsenkogel (906 m).

    We continue along the ridge with constant ups and downs and thus reach the Zederbauernspitz (1,075 m). Then down the ridge to a forest road, sharply right here and again right at a forest road junction back to the ascent route.

    Back on the familiar path to Ochsenkogel (906 m), but now on another unmarked path going downhill to the left (forest clearing) until you reach a draught path and shortly thereafter the "Prälatenweg." Now flat to the right to the large crossroads in front of Pröller (740 m).

    Now left, flat past Pröller, back to the starting point.

    Public transport

    Public-transport-friendly

    Micheldorf can be easily reached by train both from the south (Selzthal) and from the north (Linz). However, in this case the actual starting point must be reached on foot from Micheldorf train station in a 2.1 km/85 m ascent hike.

    Directions

    Coming from Kirchdorf an der Krems (north) or Liezen (south), turn off the B138 shortly before or after Micheldorf (the church on Georgenberg is clearly visible here) and reach the small parking lot in a short time before the last section of the road to Georgenberg.

    Parking

    A few parking spaces are available at the starting point. Considerate parking is absolutely necessary!
