Hiking Trails Under 5 km in Austria

We track 44 routes that match this search in Austria. They average 3.1 km.

That is 30 percent of the 149 routes we map in Austria. They are shorter than the local average, 3.1 km against 70.7 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 8 m (26 ft) against 756 m (2,480 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Short routes for a spare couple of hours, an evening walk, or a day when the weather only gives you a window. Most of these are on the gentler end, which makes the list a good starting point if you are new to the area.
