The route is ideal if you are pushing a pram, also taking you past a big playground. If you prefer to avoid the light traffic which runs through the village, simply turn around at the dog park and make your way back from there.
Author’s recommendation
- There are a number of benches where you can stop for a rest. For the playground and recreation area, a swimming towel and picnic blanket are handy for a short break in nature.
- Several refreshment options locally: www.puch-salzburg.com
- Within the Puch village limits, dogs must be on a leash.

Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
From here, follow the path for approx. 200 m and at the crossroads turn left onto the gravel path that runs parallel to the recreation centre and the Pucher Waldstadion for approx. 800 m. At this crossroads you will also find the stamp for the Tennengau Hiking Pass (2 points). Turn left again at the next junction and follow the path for approx. 250 m until you reach Schulstraße. On the left-hand side, next to the cane run, is a dog run where dogs can run and play freely (dogs must be kept on leads in the rest of the municipality).
From there, turn right to the Mühlbachsiedlung and turn left before the railway subway. Follow the path to the next subway and then turn left underneath it via Grubenbauerweg back to the starting point. The ideal "after-work round" - also for dogs!
