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.

Steyr - Spital am Pyhrn | Steyrtal cycle path R8 & Nationalpark Kalkalpen cycle path R31
4400 Steyr
From the river to the mountains - impressive, family-friendly cycling route on the track of the former Steyrtal railway, past the Klaus reservoir over the old railway bridge of the Pyhrn railway, you constantly have the majestic mountains of the Nationalpark Kalkalpen region in view.
Recommended season:
- March
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- November
On your saddles, ready, go: Since the connection of the two bike routes R8 and R31, the Steyrtal cycle path is passable for about 75 kilometers - from the iron city Steyr to Spital am Pyhrn.
The family cycle trail R8 and then further the cycle path R31 runs close to the Steyr river with its bathing places, rest stops, experience stations, viewpoints and canyons - from Steyr in the north to Spital am Pyhrn in the south. Due to the mostly flat track, the Steyrtal cycle path is also very suitable for families.
Once the steam locomotive roared here
The section Untergrünburg - Klaus almost continuously follows the track of the Steyrtal railway. Today, this is operated as a museum railway between Steyr and Grünburg. From Klaus, the old 210-meter-long railway bridge was specially adapted for the cycle path connection. To make it suitable for cycling, the old wooden sleepers and posts were removed and replaced by a roadway deck made of sheet metal grates. The stage from Klaus mostly runs close to the elongated reservoir. If you want, you can swim, fish or rent a boat here before reaching the stage destination Steyrling. Back on the main route, it continues to the junction St. Pankraz, where the newly developed Pyhrn-Priel Panorama branches off. We continue on the R8 until you reach the town, where there is a charging station for e-bikes.
ATTENTION: In St. Pankraz, the name and number of the bike path change!
From now on, we ride on the Nationalpark Kalkalpen cycle path R31. Along the Teichl, it goes through forests and a beautiful valley floor towards Spital am Pyhrn. However, we stay on the main route and pass the Roßleithen train station to Windischgarsten. From here, first go right for a bit towards Gleinkersee, then turn left towards Spital am Pyhrn.
