Bike expert Bernhard Huber knows and appreciates the region in the heart of Upper Austria from years of experience in the saddle. Having grown up in the Steyrtal valley, the state-certified MTB guide has been active in cycling and bike tourism for many years. For him, cycling is an inseparable part of outdoor exercise:

Anyone travelling here by bike quickly realises how special this landscape is. I grew up here in Steyrtal, but even today I am still discovering new aspects of this area on my bike. The Kalkalpen National Park offers peace, space and paths where you can really experience nature.
