Tour description:

Tip : You can also take public transport to and from this hike. Which line, which stop, which way to go? This is according to the web description. All public transport tips have been checked before publication.

On the white and red Traun, not only was wood drifted to the Traunstein Saline, but the salt extracted was also brought back to Bad Reichenhall. Along this first pipeline in the world it goes on paved roads and forest paths. You have enough time to empathize with the work of the salt packers and porters and to let the path sink in. The nature and mammoth museum, the dike camp, the moor adventure trail and the sight of the Max Aicher ice skating arena in Inzell provide variety.

The Saline Chapel on Traunstein's Karl-Theodor-Platz is the starting point of the tour. From here it goes along the Traun via Siegsdorf, Hammer and Inzell to Zwing. There the small Zwingsee with bathing facilities and an inn await. From there you can take the bus back to Traunstein.
