You ride your gravel bike along pure waters through the Dachstein Salzkammergut and the Ausseerland region.** Water that constantly accompanies you on the gravel bike tour, whether as a stream, river or lake. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The **holiday region [Dachstein Salzkammergut](http://www.dachstein-salzkammergut.at/?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** and the **Ausseerland** create the ideal connection for gravel bikers in the Salzkammergut. Forest and local roads take you through part of the Inner Salzkammergut, **always accompanied by water**, most of which comes from the **Dachstein Glacier**. On the Gravel Bike Tour around the Sarstein, you will make up **a lot of kilometres and metres in altitude** on your personal gravel bike account and enjoy the most beautiful sides of the federal states of Styria and Upper Austria. **To the tour:** Start at **[marketplace](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/430000165/marktplatz-in-bad-goisern.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** in **[Bad Goisern am Hallstättersee](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000966/bad-goisern-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** in a southerly direction. After crossing the B 166, you will reach St. Agatha on the footpath and cycle path. At the crossroads after the **[Agathawirt Landhotel](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-unterkunft/detail/104004/agathawirt-landhotel.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** turn left towards **the Halleralm**. Pass the Schützenheim and soon turn right along the **"Leislingstraße" along the Zlambach**. This forest road will take you up a few metres in altitude. In Ausseerland, it takes you past meadows that are in full bloom in spring - **daffodils** as far as the eye can see. Why not enjoy this sight on a short detour to [**Ruine Pflindsberg**](https://www.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/400439/ruine-pflindsberg.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata). The path continues along the signposts down to Altaussee. After a few minutes on the right, you will reach **Lake Altaussee**. A short break by the water, with the beautiful mountain scenery with the **Trisselwand** on the opposite side of the lake in view, is also a good idea here. The gravel bike tour around the Sarstein, however, takes you right along **Altausseer Straße** to **Bad Aussee**. Turn left here into the town centre and keep right again at the next junction (post office) towards **Bad Aussee railway station**. You will pass the **geographical centre of Austria**. This is located in the spa gardens of Bad Aussee. Shortly after Bad Aussee train station, you will climb a few metres in altitude again at the start of **Koppenstraße**. Follow this road for a few kilometres before turning right onto the **Koppentalradweg**. Alternatively, you can continue along the road to **[Obertraun](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-stadt-ort/detail/430000976/obertraun.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** follow. A small diversions to **[Koppenwinklsee](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/401013/gluecksplatz-koppenwinklsee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** with its impressive fauna and flora as well as a short break at **[Gasthaus Koppenrast](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103929/gasthaus-koppenrast.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** are highly recommended. Then follow the road to **[Strandbad](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/200678/freibadeanlage-strandbad-obertraun.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)**. On hot summer days, a dip in the lake will cool you down. After that, head to the **[Ostuferradweg](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-tour/detail/100145/ostuferradweg-am-hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)** dem **[Lake Hallstatt](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/430017381/hallstaettersee.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)**. This path is used by cyclists and hikers - please **be considerate**. After a few minutes' ride you will reach **[Hallstatt train station](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-poi/detail/430003991/bahnhof-hallstatt.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)**. Afterwards, another highlight of the tour awaits you. On the **Suspension Bridge** you cross the deepest point of Lake Hallstatt at approx. 125 metres. There must be time for a little souvenir photo here! Shortly after the suspension bridge, the cycle path separates from the hiking trail and continues above to [**Uferwirt Seeraunzn**](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/oesterreich-gastronomie/detail/103746/uferwirt-seeraunzn.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata). The sunny terrace invites you to rest and recharge your batteries. Afterwards, cyclists and hikers continue along the same route. The road continues via the villages of **Obersee** and **Untersee** to **Au**. From here, follow the footpath and cycle path along the B 166 to the **entrance to Bad Goisern-Süd** and cycle back to the starting point on **Obere Marktstraße**. Here you can find lots more information about **[Gravel Biken](https://dachstein.salzkammergut.at/erleben/sommer-berge-bikes-seen-und-sehenswertes/gravel-biken.html?utm_source=tourdata&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=tourdata)**.
