Aisdorf was formerly called Aysdorf. Above the village, traces of early settlement can be found on the Radensbach hill, along with the preserved remains of the “Radensbach Castle” walls at Burgboden. A hiking route also leads to Aisdorf, while a cycling loop starts and ends there. This offers different starting points for planning your trip: local history, a hike by the protected Luzia biotope, and a named cycling route.

Early settlement and local history

People lived on the Radensbach hill above Aisdorf during the Urnfield period. Traces of this early settlement can still be seen today. The preserved remains of the “Radensbach Castle” walls can be found at Burgboden above Aisdorf. These two historical features are distinct: the hill is associated with early settlement, while the remains of a named castle have been preserved at Burgboden.

Around the year 1100, Aisdorf was home to a large farm called “Pauernhof”. It is considered the predecessor of today’s Toman and Neuschmied estates. This adds another historically dated point of interest to the traces of settlement and the castle ruins. Count Poto donated the Pauernhof, together with its associated properties in Uttendorf, to Millstatt Abbey in Carinthia.

The former name Aysdorf is another historical point of interest. The name of the village, the traces on the Radensbach hill, the remains of the walls at Burgboden and the Pauernhof each tell a different part of the local history. If you are especially interested in early settlement history, the traces from the Urnfield period and the farm dating to around the year 1100 provide two distinct historical reference points.

Hiking and cycling around Aisdorf

On the Luziarunde, hiking trail 1A passes the protected Luzia biotope and continues to Aisdorf. This connects a specific hiking trail and a named natural feature with Aisdorf as the destination. It is a clear hiking option for your outing; the Aisdorf Loop, by contrast, is described as a cycling route.

The Aisdorf Loop runs from Aisdorf along the road to Hackl Bridge, then follows the Tauern Cycle Path along the Salzach back to the starting point. It also follows a meadow path through the Luzia Lacke European protected area in the direction of Aisdorf. The named points along the route include Hackl Bridge, the Tauern Cycle Path and the Salzach; the meadow path adds the Luzia Lacke to the route.

The different focus of each route can help you decide: the Luziarunde follows hiking trail 1A past the Luzia biotope, while the Aisdorf Loop is described as a cycling route that returns to its starting point. The names Luzia biotope and Luzia Lacke refer to the natural features mentioned on their respective routes.

There is also a practical tip for travelling to the start and finish area of the Aisdorf Loop: it is accessible via the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn railway and bus route 670. The stops are a few minutes’ walk from the start and finish of the loop. If you plan to travel by train or bus, check the timetable before setting off so you can coordinate your journey with a specific service.
