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:
The Luchs Trail is a long-distance hiking trail with 13 stages through 3 internationally recognized large protected areas and touches Austria's first World Heritage Site. It leads through Austria's wild (forest) center, which has been repeatedly recognized by the Alpine Convention as a pilot region for ecological connectivity.

The wild and romantic mountain landscape is probably the largest near-natural forest area in Central Europe. This is why the lynx has been reintroduced here. The trail draws attention to this endangered species and thus contributes to its protection and survival. The fact that the trail also leads through an extremely attractive mountain hiking area is a happy coincidence.


As a hiker on the Luchs Trail, you are challenged! The stages are long and cover several meters in altitude. Your senses are also challenged, as you have to keep your eyes and ears open. But don't worry, even if you don't get to see the lynx: You will feel the presence of the miraculous.

Directions:

  • Luchs Trail stage 01 Reichraming-Anlaufalm: ticket to the wilderness - through wild forests and along beautiful paths into the Kalkalpen National Park and to the romantic Anlaufalm.

  • Luchs Trail stage 02 Anlaufalm-Laussabaueralm: In the middle of lynx territory - through the lonely Hintergebirge to the rustic Laussabaueralm

  • Luchs Trail stage 03 Laussabaueralm-Admont: Back to civilization - over the Haller Mauern to Admont with the famous Admont Abbey

  • Luchs Trail stage 04 Admont-Klinkehütte: Back to nature - via the secluded Scheiblegger Hochalm to the sunny south side of the Gesäuse National Park

  • Luchs Trail stage 05 Klinkehütte-Johnsbach: With far-reaching views - via the viewing balcony with views of the rugged Gesäuse mountains to the mountaineering village of Johnsbach

  • Luchs Trail stage 06 Johnsbach-Gstatterboden: Worth seeing - short valley stage to relax or on a more difficult, spectacular variant into the Yosemite of Austria

  • Luchs Trail stage 07 Gstatterboden-Mooslandl: Steep uphill - the crossing of the northern Gesäuse mountains via the Ennstaler Hütte

  • Luchs Trail stage 08 Mooslandl-Palfau: Varied - close to the valley along the wild Salza and through the Nothklamm gorge

  • Luchs Trail stage 09 Palfau-Lassing: Hard work pays off - grand finale in the Mendlingtal valley as the end of a long but beautiful stage or shorter variant via the Moaralm.

  • Luchs Trail stage 10 Lassing-Hochreit: Step by step into the wilderness - solitary high-altitude hike past the Hochkar ski area into the Dürrenstein wilderness area

  • Luchs Trail stage 11 Hochreit-Seehof: Powerful final chord - crossing the Dürrenstein and through the beguiling Seetal valley to the final foot dip at Lake Lunz, or after breakfast you will be taken by a shuttle cab from Göstling to the Ybbstaler Hütte parking lot in the Steinbachtal valley; this will save you just under 2 hours of walking time.

Tip:
So that you don't get lost, the Luchs Trail follows existing marked hiking trails and is also signposted.

Sometimes only a sticker of the Luchs Trail logo is affixed to existing signs. Spray markings of the logo at the edge of the trail will also accompany you.
