Pinzgau Marian Way Stage 10: Lend - Dienten
Pinzgau Marian Way Stage 10: Lend - Dienten
This demanding route takes you into the Dienten valley. After a steep ascent, you pass the beautiful Böndlsee where you can swim. Then it goes more comfortably down into the valley before you have to manage another steep ascent at Schwarzenbach. After the (asphalt) path over the Dienten Sonnberg, where beautiful viewpoints await you, you walk the last section leisurely along the stream to Dienten.

Path Conditions
The start of your hike is at the parish church in Lend, dedicated to St. Rupert. From the castle opposite, the road leads over the bridge down to the main road (100 m), along which you follow the Salzach for another 200 m. Over the bridge, you turn left and follow the road over the railway tracks. After the railway tracks, immediately turn left and then take the right path after about 100 m. This leads steeply uphill for about 2.5 km; just before the Böndlsee, it slopes slightly downhill. Before the Böndlsee, turn left and walk along the Böndlsee towards Dienten. Stay on the straight path for 1 km; at the end, the path turns left and goes uphill past the Oberdorf chapel until after 1.7 km you reach a cross with a wayside shrine. Here you continue following the hiking trail, which slopes gently into the Dienten valley (do not turn upwards!) and after 2 km leads to the main road. Along the main road, go 500 m before you can turn right into the Schwarzenbach valley (Güterweg Schwarzenbach). After 1.2 km, turn left onto Güterweg Lindl. Then it goes steeply uphill again for 1.2 km, then straight ahead (towards Fischerstüberl - closed!, path 56) and 2 km gently downhill along the Sonnberg until you reach the main road. Here turn right and follow the promenade along the Dienten stream for 3 km to Dienten. From afar, the Dienten church greets you, picturesque on a hill overlooking the village and the Hochkönig. You reach the parish church of St. Nicholas via the small street that steeply leads over the Kirchbühel between the parsonage and the Hotel Hochkönig.
