  • the Mondsee at Kreuzstein, where we can jump into the lake once more,

  • the Dachsteinblick, where we take a last look back at the landscape we traversed over the last days,

  • the new Kulmspitze viewing tower,

  • and shortly after, Mondsee.

Directions:

The Bergeseen 10 stage starts at the tourism office in Steinbach am Attersee. Heading south, we cross the L544 Grossalmstraße into Lehenweg. Passing old farms, we cross the Dürrenbach and ride 0.9 km along Dorfweg to the district of Haslach, where we sharply turn left following the S800 signs to B152 (471 m elevation, km 1.6).


We then follow the B152 along the lake towards Weißenbach and further towards Unterach, where after 4.1 km we use the bike path. After 1.4 km we cross B152 and turn into the forest road, which leads left uphill (484 m elevation, km 6.7) towards Eisenaualm and Schwarzensee.


Following the Lasseralmbach creek, we follow the S800 signs uphill. After about 3.6 km, a wonderful viewpoint awaits on the right (795 m elevation, km 10.3) overlooking the southern end of Attersee. Continuing past Moosalm, after about 700 m we reach a crossroad. If interested, it is possible here to go left (771 m elevation, km 11.1) to Schwarzensee or turn right onto the nature trail towards the gorge, lock the bikes, and enter Burgauklamm from above.


The original route continues steadily uphill on the forest road, where many bike encounters may occur. After about 3.7 km we reach the alpine pasture area and after another 1.2 km the day's highest point at 1016 m. Those feeling hungry and wanting a break at this beautiful spot can turn right (1009 m elevation, km 16.0) to Buchberghütte, which is biker-friendly.


Otherwise, now it goes downhill towards Mondsee. After 1.5 km, the first panoramic view (889 m elevation, km 17.5) opens over Mondsee towards Salzburg on Thalgauberg, which we got to know on the first stage. Another view awaits of Drachenwand and Eglsee before the forest road ends after 5 km (496 m elevation, km 22.5) and we turn right onto B154, which we leave after 600 m right towards Unterach.


After 700 m, we turn onto the bike path at Kienbergwand, ride 1.2 km through tunnels to Kreuzstein (481 m elevation, km 25.0) for a refreshing swim. The bike path ends here; we continue on Oberburgaustraße along Mondsee to its end after another 2.3 km. Here, on the bridge over Seeache, we have a view of Mondsee with Drachenwand, one of the most beautiful places for a sunset. After the bridge, we follow the bike path right for 3.2 km to Unterach am Attersee (470 m elevation, km 30.6).


Then we continue 8.5 km on the bike path towards Nußdorf am Attersee. After Dexelbach, we turn left uphill after the public bathing area and leave the bike path at the first opportunity to the left (489 m elevation, km 39.1) and follow the S800 signs up the switchbacks 900 m to Limbergstraße (566 m elevation, km 40.0), where we turn left. After 1.4 km, we turn right and after a left curve 400 m later again right towards Dachsteinblick (768 m elevation, km 42.5), which we reach after 800 m on asphalt.


From Dachsteinblick, the journey continues through the forest, with a last farewell glance over the shoulder at Hochlecken, Attersee, and the forest ridge that separates Attersee from Traunsee, leading us on the forest road to Oberwang (574 m elevation, km 51.3), which we reach after about 8.8 km.


After 2.6 km, at Riedschwandt (662 m elevation, km 53.4), we turn left into one of Upper Austria’s largest forest areas and follow the forest road towards Kulmspitze and Radstatt.


Below Mondseeberg, after about 8.5 km, we leave the forest via Tiefgraben and follow Mondseebergweg to Egg, where we turn left (784 m elevation, km 62.1) downhill towards Mondsee. After 4.2 km downhill on asphalt, we reach the final destination of the last stage.

Tip:

A detour to Schwarzensee and/or descent into the Burgauklamm are recommended, as well as a wonderful swim in Mondsee at Kreuzstein and a stop at Dachsteinblick to again internalize the experience of the last days.

Safety guidelines:

For a successful, accident-free, and exciting day, find tips here for planning before the tour.

Equipment:

Please note that all MTB routes must always be done with flawless equipment.


Here is our recommendation for tour preparation and equipment.

Additional information:

As new players on the field of mountain and leisure sports, we eMTB riders are particularly obliged to behave appropriately.


In Graubünden, bikers and hikers share the trails. A project that should set an example. But this only works with mutual respect. Black sheep set us back years.


With common rules, we ensure that the forest continues to offer a unique place for recreation, life, and work for everyone.

Vis-à-vis users

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.

 

The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.

 

The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.

 

We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.

 

Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.

 

The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.

 

2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.

 

The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.

 

The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.

 

3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.

 

We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.

 

4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:

 

Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.

 

a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.

b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.

c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).

It is obligatory to provide first aid!

d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!

Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.

e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.

f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.

g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!

h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!

i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.

Moreover, we have no influence on the design or contents of the websites to which hyperlinks on www.salzkammergut.at lead or from which hyperlinks lead to www.salzkammergut.at.
