Steyrling: Hiking and Local History

Steyrling can be explored through a variety of routes and stories: the Fischbach circular trail passes the bathing pond, hiking trails lead via the Pastorensteig to the pyramid on Spitzmauer, and cycling routes include the village in different ways. The parish church, Moser Chapel and references to earlier craft production also give the village a cultural context. When looking for a holiday apartment, it is therefore worth considering whether you would like to spend your days mainly outdoors, cycling or visiting historical sites.

Hiking between the circular trail and summit views

The Fischbach circular trail starts opposite the Raiffeisenbank in Steyrling, passes the Steyrling bathing pond and then returns to the village. This route offers a clear point of reference if you are looking for a named circular trail that starts in the village. Another hike leads from Steyrling via the Pastorensteig and Kaltauer Graben to the pyramid on Spitzmauer. On the hike via the Pastorensteig, the trail leads to a summit with panoramic views across the Kremstal. The two routes therefore offer different points of interest: the circular trail brings you back to Steyrling, while the other tour features named trail sections and summit views.

Brunnental, cycling and water

In Brunnental, the route follows the Steyrling River through the valley. If you would rather focus on the course of the river and valley when choosing a tour, this offers a different point of reference from the hike via the Pastorensteig. There are also various options for cycling: the Klaus stage of the Steyrtal Cycle Route ends in Steyrling. The Pyhrn-Priel Panorama Cycle Tour crosses the old railway bridge into Brunnental and the village of Steyrling. When planning, consider whether the stage finish in Steyrling or the ride over the bridge into Brunnental is a more important point of reference for you.

The Steyrling bathing pond is a bathing facility located on the Fischbach circular trail. If you are planning a day of swimming, check the current operating details in advance. There is a lane for traditional winter ice-stock sport at the Klausner Wirt in Steyrling. Check in advance whether it will be available during your stay.

Church and local history

The Catholic parish church of Steyrling is dedicated to the “Immaculate Conception of Mary.” In the Federal Monuments Authority register dated 23 June 2026, it is listed as protected by decree; the Moser Chapel in Steyrling is also listed there. Mass is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Sundays in the parish church. Check before your visit whether the service is taking place on the day you plan to attend.

Other historical traces lead to crafts and industry: a glassworks on the Zösenbach is mentioned from the beginning of the 17th century. Michael Piesslinger from Steyrling was one of the region’s more prominent scythe producers. Together with the church’s dedication and protected status, as well as the Moser Chapel, these references offer different ways to explore local history—from religious buildings to regional production.

Choose the right focus for your stay

When looking for a holiday apartment in Steyrling, you can start by weighing up the activities you have planned: the circular trail, a hike via the Pastorensteig, a riverside and valley route, or a cycling tour. This way, you can choose where to stay based on the experiences that matter to you, rather than on a general idea of a holiday.
