The section along the Walster River is one of the most scenic parts of the Traisental Cycle Path (R13). It leads through the mountainous landscape of the Lower Austrian Prealps and, in its upper reaches, follows the Walster, a clear mountain stream that flows into the Traisen River near Annaberg. From Mariazell, the route initially descends gently through the idyllic Walster Valley, past dense forests, lush meadows, and quiet hamlets. The section along Lake Hubertus near Wienerbruck is particularly charming and offers a perfect spot for a short break. The path then continues along the Walster towards Annaberg, where the river joins the young Traisen. From here, the route leads through the narrow, wooded Traisen Valley down into the gentle Alpine foothills and finally to the state capital, St. Pölten. The route is well signposted and largely follows quiet side roads and cycle paths. It offers a diverse combination of alpine scenery, clear waters and cultural impressions – an ideal tour for experienced cyclists and nature lovers who want to enjoy the tranquil Walstertal valley.

Always worth a visit

The Wuchtl-Wirtin is a virtually legendary inn on the Mariazellerweg.

Interesting early baroque church on the Via Sacra.

Coming from Maria Zell, be sure to take the left bank

Beautiful route along the lake shore. Despite the beautiful view, don't forget to watch out for the sometimes less good surface.

Old mill near the Reidl lifts

Lake Hubertus is the perfect place for a rest or a refreshing dip. Across the lake, you can enjoy wonderful views of the mountain panorama from anywhere. There's also plenty to discover along its shores: including the Hubertus Chapel, which watches over the lake, the spring of the same name, and the impressive dam.
