Our special mountain biking tour tips

the Hallstättersee-Koppenwinkel-Round – 30 km, 150 metres of change in altitude – wonderful sight to the village of Hallstatt – nature of Koppenwinkelsee
the Weissenbach Round – 21 km, 240 metres of change in altitude – our tour for the afternoon after your trip
the Hochmuth-Round – 23 km, 500 meters of change in altitude – nice tour for half- a – day
the Blaa-Alm Round– 45.5 km, 960 metres of change in altitude – a classic to get started and get to know the region, but also THE tour to take when it is very hot, since most of the change in altitude has to be conquered at the beginning of the tour and Altaussee Lake is a welcome stop off to cool down

A wheel leaning against a fence placed in front of a cliff at the Eternal Wall — A bike tour to the Eternal Wall - pure thrill

the Kaiser Tour – 38 km, 770 metres of change in altitude – The tour doesn't just earn its name Kaiser Tour because it leads through the forests and along the paths that Franz and Sis once travelled on foot and by carriage, but primarily because of the highlights it offers. You will see the Ewige Wand and the Tauernweg to Ischl and it has lots of cozy cabins with the Ratluck'n and Hoisenradalm to offer.
the Sandling-Round - 35 km, 1350 metres of change in altidude – have a break at lake Altausee and a Kaiserschmarrn at the Hütteneck-hut
the Raschberg Round – 52.50 km, 1,610 metres of change in altitude – Into the Ausseerland and over the challenging Grabenbach back up to the Raschberg – marvelous view of one of the best-known mountain meadows in the Salzkammergut – the Hütteneckalm – the Kaiserschmarrn alone is reason enough for a visit!
the Durchgangsalm-Round – 48 km, 1380 Hütteneckalm – The tour starts on Lake Hallstatt and leads along the new bike path with a view of the world-famous city of Hallstatt before the path becomes steep in the Echerntal on the way to Gosau – a tour that offers everything – beautiful views, cosy meadows, challenging inclines and declines.
the Salzkammergut 5 Lake Tour (lake Wolfgangsee, Schwarzensee, etc.) – 60 km, 1350 Hütteneckalm – Mountains and lakes: a combination that the Salzkammergut presents spectacularly, beautiful views and also very appropriate for bikers who without a lot of technical skills.

Dachstein Shark

Obertraun, Oberösterreich, Österreich

Suitable for groups
Suitable for kids (all ages)

The new attraction on Heilbronn Circular trail is the Dachstein Shark.
The primeval shark is 8 metres long and is one of the attractions on the Krippenstein

Visitor magnet on the Dachstein Krippenstein

The popular photo spot is only a 45 minutes walk along the Heilbronner Circular Trail, away from the mountain station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car. Brave visitors can climb into the stomach of the giant creature, a view from the mouth of the Dachstein Shark offers fantastic views of the Dachstein glacier. A visit is well worth the effort.

The Dachstein Shark shows, that even the Dachstein massif was covered millions of years ago with sea water and the primeval sharks have lived in this area. The new visitor attraction was built in August 2013. The shark was sunk deep into Lake Hallstatt, and spectacularly „rescued“ from the water a few days later by helicopter and then flown to be at its destination.

Experiene a 360° panorama tour of the Dachstein Krippenstein…
