Starting in St.Wolfgang, cycle on the route WO4 to the village of Russbach, where a short climb takes you up to Lake Schwarzensee. Continue, following the lakeshore, to where a further climb leads up to the Eisenaualm pastures. Cycle downhill towards St. Gilgen, staying on the cycle route WO4 until you reach the main road (Mondsee Bundesstraße No.154). Cross over the road and continue on the cycle path to St. Gilgen, then onwards to the village of Strobl, finally returning to the starting point in St.Wolfgang.
