Directions:
The stage Berge Seen 7 starts at the tourist office in Altaussee and takes us along the cycle path after 5 km upwards to the mountain pasture Blaa Alm in 899 m. Here starts our adventure and again there comes the difficult decision, which hut shall be chosen for a stop. 

We follow the gravel road for 400 m and turn to the right in direction to Rettenbach. Through the narrow valley along an impressing rock face we cross the tunnel in direction to the Rettenbachalm, pass a hermitage and reach after about 3,7 km the pasture region. The first mountain pasture (634 alt, km 9,6) on the right side is run by mountainbikers and offers refreshment and local traditional dishes and snacks. After about 800 m we pass a gate and a parking (628 alt, km 10,2) and go downwards along a gravel road until we turn after 2,4 km (581 alt, km 12,6) to the left. For now a steep uphill is in front of us. Please always pay attention of oncoming traffic, mountainbikers which are coming from the other direction. The right wayside goes steep down, therefore keep a safe distance. We follow the signs S800 until the crossing Grabenbachalm (920 alt, km 16,7) and go straight ahead. In winding roads the trail leads us constantly upwards via the Vorderen Sandlinggraben to the highest point of the tour in 1384 m, which we reach after 23,5 km after the start of the tour. Passing the Raschberghütte we carry on our tour until a crossing (1030 alt, km 26,5) where we go straight ahead.


We pass an ancient stone quarry, go upwards and soon a wonderful outlook (1101 alt, km 29,0) to the Hütteneckalm, which is located below us, as well as to the Dachstein and to the Hallstättersee. At km 30,6 the trail is discharging in a forest road, which we pass and leave after 100 meters again. We always go leftwards and pass the Berghof Predigstuhl from above. After 200 m at km 32,7 we turn to the left into the trail. About 1,4 km later we reach a crossing at the trail. There we turn after a 180 degree twist to the right in direction to Ewige Wand. At km 34,9 the trail ends and we carry on on a forest road. Here there is the possibility to turn to the left in order to take the cycle path to Bad Ischl.


The forest road takes us upwards in direction to the Hoisnrad. We pass a few old tunnels which used to be tunnels for the extraction of salt. After 5,9 km (969 alt, km 40,8) we reach a crossing, where a steep downhill brings us straight to Bad Ischl. Before we dedicate ourselves the culture in Bad Ischl, certainly we will make a quick stop with a phenomenal view at the Hoisnrad Alm (600 alt) to enjoy cuisine and landscape.


The way down for about 300 m might be a bit difficult, in this case it is better to push the bike at this passage. After 900 m we reach again a tarmac road and to our right the Elisabethstollen. Now we pass along Radgrabenstraße downwards many of these tunnels. The Maria-Theresia Stollen shows a small shunting station (679 alt, km 45,3). We follow the street Pernecker Straße  till Reiterndorf and turn then to the right in the Grazerstraße, which leads us straight ahead to our final destination of this stage. 



Tip:
The first opportunity you will find to the right at the Rettenbachalm. Great emphasis is put on hospitality. The hut is run by mountainbikers as well. 

The Hoisnrad Alm is convincing with its incredible location. Shortly after that  a tunnel which was gallery for the extraction of salt, which is called Maria-Theresiastollen, offers a great photo location.



Safety guidelines:
For a successful, accident free and exciting day you will find tips for planning before the tour here.

Equipment:
Please note that any MTB tours can always be done with proper equipment. 

 


Here our recommendation for tour preparation and equipment.



Additional information:
As new figures on the playing field of mountain and recreational sportsmen, we E-MTB riders have a special responsibility to behave appropriately.

In Graubünden bikers and hikers share the paths. A project that should set a precedent. But this can only be done with mutual respect. Black sheep throw us back years.


With common rules of play, we ensure that the forest will continue to provide a unique recreational and living space as well as jobs for everyone in the future.

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.
