Official city hiking trail 3
City hiking trail 3: Bachlberg
Through the hillside settlements above Urfahr, between Hauptplatz and Harbach.
This trail takes the slopes north of the Danube, between Harbach and the Hauptplatz, across the Bachlberg and its meadow and settlement paths. No spectacular summit, but the most honest picture of how Linz lives on its hills: single-family houses, gardens, and open views of the city and the Alps in between.
Getting there: 2, 1, N82 to Linz/Donau Harbach, 32 m to the trailhead. Way back from Linz/Donau Hauptplatz (2, 1, 4, 3, 50), 37 m.
The official route and its data
The coloured line is the official, signposted route of the series, as mapped in OpenStreetMap. Toggle a data layer, or tap anywhere on the map to see trees, noise, heat and travel times for that exact spot.
Tap anywhere on the map for the full “what’s here?” of that spot.
About 164 m of climbing and 172 m of descent, between 261 and 425 m above sea level. Sampled every 25 m from open elevation data; walking time uses the standard hiking formula (4 km/h plus 300 m of climb per hour).
For house hunters: here you see Urfahr’s grown residential slopes, their quiet and their gradient, without the brochure filter.
Many stretches run along residential streets and settlement paths: this is a neighbourhood walk, not a forest hike.
What changes along the way
Every 200 metres of the trail, sampled against wohnwahn’s data. The curves run from the start (left) to the finish (right). In short: 80% green along the built-up stretches · 74% quiet · 164 m of climbing.
Values are 0 to 100 per 250 m residential cell. Forest and fields have no cells, so the profile honestly pauses there; curves only appear once they cover at least half the trail. Source: heat model from surface sealing, environmental noise map, green-space proximity, footfall and own transit routing.
