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.

At the beginning, a small display room provides insights into the 50-year history of the former coal mining. The newly constructed tunnel lining at the mouth of the “Klausriedlstollen” and 22 display panels along this miners' path show the economic importance of mining, the living and working conditions, and the social circumstances of the miners and their families.
Hiking trail: E47
Directions:From Restaurant RAU, walk about 200 m on the road towards Großraming, then turn left and climb towards the Kohlgraben saddle below the Rabenreithkogel. This way you reach not only numerous sinkholes (funnel-shaped depressions caused by the collapse of the Rainer, Klausriedl, Barbara, Franz, and Ignaz tunnels), but also the site of a coal washing plant and a miners' house, spoil heaps with sterile rock, a prospecting attempt from the post-World War II period, and a pond whose cool water has seeped away forever due to underground activities.
You will learn a lot about the area's geology, land ownership, where the tunnel names came from, the mining patron saint Barbara, or the farm whose produce fed the miners.
Beautiful orchards round off the hiking pleasure, and at the end, nature presents a geological climax: the moss-covered granite cliffs of the Buch Monument, named after the geologist Leopold von Buch (1774-1853), lie like stone cuckoo eggs in the limestone of the Northern Alps. Why? Presumably, they were torn from underground during the Alpine orogeny.
The shorter route option leads north of the Kohlgraben downhill again; the longer one follows marker No. 6 into the saddle between Höhenberg and Arthofberg, then turns left towards Buchschachen or Waldbauer and also includes the remarkable fuchsia exhibition by the Schwarzlmüller family.
Tip:Buch Monument: The moss-covered granite cliffs, named after the geologist Leopold von Buch (1774-1853), lie like stone cuckoo eggs in the limestone of the Northern Alps. Why? Presumably, they were torn from underground during the Alpine orogeny.
