Parish church of St. Nicholas in Dienten am HochkönigPhoto: Hochkönig
A demanding pilgrimage route with swimming opportunity.
This demanding route takes you into the Dienten valley. After a steep ascent, you pass the beautiful Böndlsee where you can swim. Then it goes more comfortably down into the valley before you have to manage another steep ascent at Schwarzenbach. After the (asphalt) path over the Dienten Sonnberg, where beautiful viewpoints await you, you walk the last section leisurely along the stream to Dienten.

Safety information
Self-assessment: Before every mountain route, check your physical fitness and realistically assess your strength and that of your companions – especially your children! Sure-footedness and being free from dizziness are often very important!
Planning and preparation: Plan every intended mountain route carefully beforehand. Hiking maps and guides as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut keepers can be helpful.
Equipment: You need appropriate equipment and clothing in the mountains, especially sturdy, high footwear with a grippy sole. Weather and cold protection are essential as weather can often change suddenly.
Weather forecasts: Check current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at.
Togetherness: Follow the 10 rules for proper handling of grazing animals and leave no waste in nature!
Do not dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with risk of rockfall should be crossed as quickly and attentively as possible with caution.
Turn back in time: This is no shame but a sign of wisdom. It becomes necessary when the weather changes, fog sets in, or the path is too difficult or in poor condition.
Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144

Roadbook
The start of your hike is at the parish church in Lend, dedicated to St. Rupert. From the castle opposite, the road leads over the bridge down to the main road (100 m), along which you follow the Salzach for another 200 m. Over the bridge, you turn left and follow the road over the railway tracks. After the railway tracks, immediately turn left and then take the right path after about 100 m. This leads steeply uphill for about 2.5 km; just before the Böndlsee, it slopes slightly downhill. Before the Böndlsee, turn left and walk along the Böndlsee towards Dienten. Stay on the straight path for 1 km; at the end, the path turns left and goes uphill past the Oberdorf chapel until after 1.7 km you reach a cross with a wayside shrine. Here you continue following the hiking trail, which slopes gently into the Dienten valley (do not turn upwards!) and after 2 km leads to the main road. Along the main road, go 500 m before you can turn right into the Schwarzenbach valley (Güterweg Schwarzenbach). After 1.2 km, turn left onto Güterweg Lindl. Then it goes steeply uphill again for 1.2 km, then straight ahead (towards Fischerstüberl - closed!, path 56) and 2 km gently downhill along the Sonnberg until you reach the main road. Here turn right and follow the promenade along the Dienten stream for 3 km to Dienten. From afar, the Dienten church greets you, picturesque on a hill overlooking the village and the Hochkönig. You reach the parish church of St. Nicholas via the small street that steeply leads over the Kirchbühel between the parsonage and the Hotel Hochkönig.
