Tour description
From Öblarn, you walk along the Walchentalbach stream into the secluded Walchental valley. Thanks to its
peaceful location, the Augelände in Öblarn is the ideal summer retreat for young and old alike. Along the way, you will not only find the Schrabach Chapel, which is well worth seeing, but also the Copper Trail with its many stations. If you are interested in a guided tour of the “Öblarner Wassererlebnis” (Öblarn Water Experience), you can find detailed information at wassererlebnis-oeblarn.at

Lack of equipment, overestimation of one's own abilities, carelessness, poor physical condition and a wrong assessment can lead to critical situations. During thunderstorms: avoid peaks, ridges and rope belays at all costs.

No. 140 - for alpine emergencies - Austria-wide
No. 112 - Euro emergency call GSM emergency call service
Take rainproof and warm clothes and enough water, possibly also a snack, wear shoes with non-slip profile soles. A first aid kit should also be in your backpack.
