Upper Austria's mountain bike offer ----------------------------------- Upper Austria's mountain bike offer, spread over six regions, covers all the usual types of off-road cycling: pleasant workouts on colourful natural trails. Action-packed downhilling on built lines and trails. The joy of collecting metres in altitude on challenging multi-day tours. Nature provides the perfect backdrop, from hilly and wide to wooded and alpine. And also the varied terrain ... Gravel, meadow and forest paths, but also roads and farm tracks make up the route network. More urban, but no less fun, are the pump tracks, which are particularly popular with the little ones. And by the way: whether it's the Salzkammergut Trophy, Granitmarathon, Austria Grand Prix or Wurbauerkogel Downhill: the events are well worth a trip!
