Official city hiking trail 5
City hiking trail 5: Wasserwald
The level walk through the protected forest of Kleinmünchen.
The shortest and flattest trail of the series: through the Wasserwald, the drinking-water protection area and at the same time the big recreation forest of Linz’s south. Wide paths under tall trees, fitness trails, playgrounds, and around it the residential quarters of Kleinmünchen and Neue Heimat.
Getting there: 2, 1, N82 to Linz/Donau Wahringerstraße, 29 m to the trailhead. Way back from Linz/Donau Neue Welt (2, 1, N82, 3, 400), 34 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 12 m of climbing and 10 m of descent, between 259 and 264 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 families and anyone checking out the more affordable south: here you see what the districts beyond the industrial axis really offer in everyday life and green.
Level and pram-friendly, more stroll than hike. If you are after views and open country, the hill trails of the series serve you better.
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: 79% green along the built-up stretches · 68% quiet · almost completely flat.
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.
