L2 Zedernbauernspitz / Ochsenkogel Trail

The start of the route is the train station in Micheldorf. You start to the left past the Cloeren company. After about 200m, before the last house on the right side, you go into a narrow path leading to the underpass of the B138. Then turn left and after the right curve, continue straight ahead along the old B138, the Burgstraße, to the Weissenhof riding estate. After the right curve, continue straight on the marked hiking path to the castle.

After the second crossing of a small creek, turn right into the forest up to a crossroad. From there, follow the hiking trail K19 to the Zederbauern chapel and further to the L1320. Turn left here and after 100m immediately right towards Altpernstein Castle. Upon reaching the castle saddle, the path leads left until, after about 200m, it turns left again onto a meadow path, then up the forest path to a forest road. Keep left here until, after about 50m, turn right again into the forest (no marking!).

Follow the next forest road to a junction. From here the path runs briefly to the right parallel to the forest road, then continues on it to the next junction. Continue straight and then immediately turn right onto the path towards Zederbauernspitz (small wooden signpost). First flat, then it goes steeply uphill for some altitude meters. From the summit (small cross made of branches) descend the ridge path to a fork. Turn right here and at the next fork left up in the direction of Ochsenkogel (the path is well worn and visible).

Continue downhill to a forest road. Turn right here to go back in the direction of the castle. The first junction is crossed straight ahead, and at the second, turn half right and use a forest path running parallel to the forest road. The path then leads further to the castle and briefly back along the same route as the outward journey (marking present). However, about 100m before the castle, at a hut, go left down to Altpernstein Street. Continue left here, then in the next curve immediately right onto hiking trail 21/K91. Follow this downhill crossing the street through the houses towards Graben.

Shortly after the path runs through the forest, sharply turn left along a creek uphill towards Pröller. This path ends at a turnaround spot. Here go half right over the highest point downhill to Pröller. Going straight on, you cross a forest road and also the Musiker Steig until a road leading to the Georgiberg saddle. Follow this down to the old B138. Here the path continues right towards the center of Micheldorf. Before Cafe Schwarz, turn left over the bridge and then immediately right along the Krems river to the Sensenschmiede Museum. 150m later turn left over the Pyhrnpass road back to Micheldorf train station.
