Mittersill: Resterhöhe Gravel

The start is in Mittersill, from where it goes via Burk and Mittersill Castle first to Thalbach and then continues steadily uphill via Weißenstein and Loferstein before turning left and going downhill for a bit towards Klicken. From there, the path leads uphill again to Bärenfilz and then downhill again to Pass Thurn. At the pass summit, follow a short section along the main road before turning left to the next ascent. The path continuously goes uphill over the Moseralm to the reservoir lake. For a detour to the Resterhöhe, turn left or follow the reservoir lake downhill. Through the Plattwald forest it continues to Bramberg. You switch to the shaded side and ride along the valley via Mühlbach to Hollersbach and from there along the Tauern cycle path back to Mittersill.

CX/gravel bikes are best suited, although light hardtail mountain bikes are slower on the flatter sections, they also work well. Also bring provisions, a helmet, gloves and rain gear.

Experience on gravel is important. However, if you are primarily used to road biking, a preparation course is recommended (www.bikeaustria.com). Stable braking technique is important when riding fast on gravel with CX tires.

The route starts in the town center of Mittersill.

The region Mittersill-Hollersbach-Stuhlfelden is well accessible by public transport.

There are plenty of parking spaces available in Mittersill.
