The network of bus routes

RegioBuses Almenland

At weekends and on public holidays during the summer vacation (July 5 - September 7, 2025), the RegioBuses will extend their routes, making a large part of the nature park accessible by public transport. This also makes it possible to return from another stop.

Scheduled bus on Sundays & public holidays:

Bus no. 167 - Attention:

The Teichalmstraße L320 from the Erhardstraße junction to the Teichalm is closed until further notice due to the storms. Bus route no. 167 is therefore unable to travel to the Teichalm.
