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
- 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.

Description:
For safety reasons, the K2 climbing tower in front of the museum is currently closed!
What do extreme mountaineers think and feel? What does it take to climb the highest peaks? What do the 8000ers look like from above? You will find the answers to these questions and many more interesting information in this extraordinary museum.
In the Museum "Between Heaven and Earth - Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner and the World of the 8000ers" in Spital am Pyhrn, you can dive into the world of the 8000ers. The patron of the exhibition, which spans 400 m², is the native Spital resident and extreme mountaineer Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner. She was the first woman to climb all 14 eight-thousanders without supplemental oxygen.
What she experienced on the eight-thousanders of this world can be traced in this unique museum in Europe. It showcases the history of alpinism, the physical and psychological prerequisites for extreme mountaineering, and the specifics and phases of an 8000er expedition in a vivid and modern way.
In the experience room, visitors get an impression of the extreme height, the steepness of the walls, and feel the power of the wind. Original footage of the avalanche that destroyed the Mount Everest base camp in 2015 will also be shown.
In front of the museum entrance, there is a climbing tower modeled after K2 (currently closed for safety reasons).
The 8000er Trail takes hiking enthusiasts from the museum through the Dr. Vogelgesang Gorge to the Bosruck Hut, the "base camp," and further to the Rohrauer House, the "high camp." Experienced athletes then ascend to the summit of the Großer Pyhrgas, which symbolically corresponds to the summit of Mount Everest.

Rental Equipment: Audio guides (DE, ENG, CZ and NL) available at the cash desk for € 2!
Hint / Advice: For children there is the museum quiz “With Knowledge to the Summit” for €2.50. Young mountaineers explore the highest mountains in the world, symbolically pack an expedition backpack and guess what dangers and risks extreme mountaineers are exposed to.
