The Alm is the outflow of the Almsee north of the Dead Mountains and flows north through the Almtal. It flows through Grünau im Almtal, passes Scharnstein, Pettenbach, later Vorchdorf, Steinerkirchen an der Traun and Bad Wimsbach-Neydharting and flows into the Traun in the municipality of Fischlham.

Although the Alm has its source in the Dead Mountains and flows into the Traun near the Neydharting mud baths, hikers are encouraged to head towards the mountains against the direction of the river. Railway lines, which mostly accompany the path, make it easier for the guest to explore longer stretches of the path in a comfortable and ecological way.
