Go on holiday!
The people in Upper Austria make holidays special - and they do their work full of zest for action, with depth and never without charm. Let them tell you about it. Like extreme cyclist Lukas Kaufmann.
Once to hell and back
The winners of the Trophy receive a very special trophy: the "Trophy Devil". The ceramic figurine is the iconic symbol of the race, after all, the route has the name: "Once to hell and back". Extreme cyclist Lukas Kaufmann knows what a heavenly feeling it is to hold the devil in your hands.
What is the Trophy for you?
The A-course in Bad Goisern has shaped my life as an athlete. In general, the Trophy is a season highlight for bikers. I think it fits so well because the route is a little over 200 kilometres long - there are more than 7,000 metres of elevation gain and everyone reaches their limits. Me as a professional, the amateur athletes probably a bit earlier.
Which section is unique?
After 160 kilometres, the famous Salzberg awaits us riders on the A-road and it's extremely steep and extremely demanding. When you get there at the latest, you think of the devil a few times.
What does the Trophy offer visitors?
The Trophy is also a big party for the public. The finish line is incredible, there are so many people, whether it's sunny or raining. The last participant to cross the finish line - around nine o'clock in the evening - is celebrated like a winner. It's already dark by then and the cheers are still huge - indescribable!
