Paths covering:
Starts and ends in Bad Ischl, offering spectacular views of Dachstein mountain and the town itself, a former retreat for Austro-Hungarian royalty. The trail rises and dips some 655 vertical metres, with its main sights being a quarry, Saiherbachalm alpine meadow and Schneeröselkogel peak. It consists variously of cycle paths, forest roads, trails and meadow tracks.
The tour starts at the visitor centre in Bad Ischl (Salzkammergut Touristik). At the start of the tour, we ride along the cycle path towards Ebensee/Gmunden. After the rock processing facility, we turn left onto the uphill forest road. From there, we begin a long ascent up to Schneeröselkogel peak. On the way up, we pass a quarry. Shortly before the end of the tour, we cycle beneath Saiherbachalm alpine meadow on a forest road leading to the Schneeröselkogel. Once at the top, we are rewarded with majestic views over Bad Ischl and the Dachstein. Following a detour to Saiherbachalm, we ride back downhill in the direction of Bad Ischl, taking the route along Saiherbach stream. The trail is quite badly washed out in places, so cycling skill is required here. After leaving the trail, we head around Jainzenberg hill via forest roads and meadow tracks, taking us back to Bad Ischl.
