キルヒハムのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A talent from the Almtal! Always worth a visit!

The hiking trail coming up from Kogl is moderately steep, but quite tricky when wet. At the top there is a beautiful view towards Almtal/Kasberg, possibly even parts of the Priel massif and to the southwest to the Traunstein.

unobstructed view to the west of Ohlsdorf and the paper mills Laakirchen/Steyrermühl, further back also Lenzing (can be guessed at)

Herbert Danzer is an Austrian artist who specializes in carving wooden sculptures using a chainsaw. He calls himself Motorsagla and has his workshop in Kirchham, Upper Austria. He creates impressive sculptures out of wood, often depicting animals, people or mythical creatures. He is also an experienced teacher who offers courses in carving with a chainsaw. He has participated in various competitions and became runner-up in chainsaw carving in 2018. One of his most famous works is a life-size wooden mermaid that stands in front of his workshop and attracts many eyes.

On the journey from Vorchdorf to Gmunden, in the municipality of Kirchham, a life-sized wooden mermaid attracts everyone's attention. In front of the sculpture there is a large wooden sign with the inscription MOTORSAGLA, the artist name of Herbert Danzer. It's hard to believe that Danzer's lifelike mermaid was carved with a chainsaw, but it is true.

The best chainsaw carver in Austria comes from Kirchham. Herbert Danzer from Kirchham in the Salzkammergut is the reigning vice national champion in chainsaw carving and creates impressive sculptures out of wood.
