Picturesque hike from Maishofen to Zell am See

From the train station or bus stop, the first destination is the parish church in the center of Maishofen, as it houses the votive altar, a major work by Anton Faistauer. Opposite in the Gasthof Post was his childhood home, and the artist, who died too early from an internal hemorrhage, is buried in the northern cemetery. From the Anton Faistauer square, a 1 km long access road leads to Schloss Kammer. In front of this romantic country inn, the path branches off to the right into the alley towards “Mayerhofen” and leads with a short ascent over the Steinberg (767 m) to a junction. Up to the railway underpass, the route now follows the “Meadows & Alleys Round” (path 15) for 1 km, then we switch to the southbound path “To the Lake.” Along the 1.2 km path to the Zeller See lies the former princely episcopal hunting lodge Prielau, which was briefly owned by the family of the Jedermann author Hugo von Hofmannsthal, a close friend of Faistauer. Shortly thereafter, the route turns right onto the lakeside path and leads two varied kilometers later to the access to Zell am See station.
