Directions:
Starting from the tourist office in Gosau we follow the signs "BergeSeen 5". For the first time there is no lake waiting for us in the morning for an early refreshment. We head to the left in direction to the Steinermühle, while we do not cross the creek, but turn directly at the creek (km 0,4) to the right into the trail, which leads us upstream. We follow the trail 3,2 km till the road Gosausee Bezirksstraße, which we cross right/left. On the side road we reach the restaurant Gosauschmied (km 4,4) and we turn to the left on the Bezirksstraße, so after the 100 meters we shall leave it again (767 alt, km 4,5). Now the trail leads us upwards, out the small gear or maybe the pushing aid. At this time of day in the morning here it is still shady and chilly. From the left the water is coming out of the mountains and streams in the small lake below us. We follow the trail, which es getting more wider. We always keep to the right at the crossings until we reach the Bezirksstraße. Reaching the Bezirksstraße (km 5,7) we turn to the left and follow 2,1 km unitl the lake Vorderer Gosausee (937 alt, km 7,8) where the sun is waiting for us already. The wow-effect is guaranteed when you reach this point. So for now it is time to take pictures, before we take the path along the lake. Already after 700 m we turn left upwards (km 8,5). Until this point there will be many hikers, walkers, dogs and buggies. But from now on until Hallstatt reassuring loneliness is in front of us. Passing beautiful mountain pastures the trail leads us steep upwards. A small hint: After about 1 km to left there is a forest road and after few meter more you will reach a breathtaking lookout point. Unfortunately it is prohibited to go there by bike.
In 1150 m at km 11,3 there is located the mountain pasture Ebenalm, for a break maybe to early, but for a second breakfast it is still not to late. Otherwise we pass the turn to the Ebenalm and turn at the next opportunity to the left upwards, where we catch a view to the Hornspitz, our tour from yesterday.
In 1357 m at km 15,8 we reach a crossing, where the trail carries on straight ahead. Here there is the possibility to visit the upland moor Löckermoos. You shall reach that in 2 minutes with the bike and 15 minutes more on foot.
From then on the tour carries on passinge the Grubenalm, the Rossalm and after a steep uphill we reach the highest point of this stage in 1502 m (km 21,2). It is a beautiful place with a great view in both directions. But still we have a long way in front of us reaching our aim of the day. For the beginning the trail carries on with few meters downwards always offering a nice view to the waterfalls, passing the Durchgangalm until we reach after 6,1 km a crossing (874 alt, km 27,3) which we leave to the right. Passing the Klausalm we always tend to the left and pass as well a beautiful waterfall, one of the most beautiful waterfalls of the region (28,9 km). From now on we go on a tarmac road downwards to Hallstatt. The view to the lake Hallstättersee and to the waterfalls is phenomenal. After about 1,8 km the road ends and at a parking we turn right, which takes us all the way to Hallstatt. (km 32,2). Now the cycle path brings us to Obertraun and after about 3,8 km we cross the river Traun and turn to the left, so we get on the cycle path "Strandbad Obertraun". After 1,3 km we get to the railway, which we do not cross. Here we turn to the left on the cycle path "Ostufer Radweg" (km 37,1) next to the Hallstättersee, which we follow until Bad Goisern. At this point there is again the time for a refreshment in the lake, take your swimming stuff and jump into the lake. Also you will find here nice places to take a break and have a snack.
Please take care of oncoming traffic and hikers. Especially in the area of the holding station (km 39,1) step of the bike and push it during this passage. The cycle path is characterised by its naturalness and is mostly quite narrow.
For those who don't want to go on this trail, it is possible to leave the Untersee Straße at km 45,6 and shorten the tour. The rest follows the cycle path for the next 3,1 km in direction to Bad Goisern until we reach the sign "Radweg verlassen" (km 48,7). To the right 600 meter upwards on a tarmac road until the first turn. Here we turn to the right into the "Shared Trail". The trail is narrow and curvy, but for well trained bikers it should not be an obstacle. After 2 km there is a road which we cross in direction to St. Agatha. Between small houses we reach a crossing (km 51,5) and we turn to the left to a small road called Pichlern, which we will leave again after 600 m to the right (587 alt, km 52,1).
From now the tour leads us constantly upwards in direction to Bad Aussee. We always keep to the right, follow the signs "BergeSeen 5", cross the Leislingbach in 830 m and reach after about 5,3 km the Scheibenstraße (910 alt, km 57,4), in which we turn into to the left and leave it again after 900 m to the right. Now the tour leads us along the nature reserve Waldgraben - Scheibenmoos. After about 1,2 km you can turn to the right. A small path leads you to a beautiful lookout point, the Ruine Pflindsberg, which is an ancient observation tower offering a beautiful view to the Ausseerland.
Now we carry on through the forest until we reach a gate (km 60,2). Here we leave the forest and get to a populated area again. On a tarmac road we follow the signs in direction to Bad Aussee. After 900 m we turn to the left via the area Puchen and the to the right, following the Hauptstraße via the area Lichtersberg. We cross the river Altausseer Traun and turn right after that into the cycle path again. Along the river Altausseer Traun we go ahead for the next 1,3 km, cross the river and soon we shall reach the center of Bad Aussee:
Hint:
There are some possibilities to stop and make a break, where also snacks and drinks are served. But most of them are very close to the beginning of the tour. Therefore it is recommendable to take a small snack with you.
Tip:
As well on this tour the management of the batteries is very important. Theoriticaly one battery should be sufficient until the restaurant Agathawirt in Bad Goisern.
A small snack for the way and a bike lock are also recommendable, especially in case you intent to make a stop at the upland moor.
Depending on the details of your planning, how about a breakfast on one of the traditional wooden boats at the Altausseer See the next morning?
Safety guidelines:
For a successful, accident free and exciting day you will find tips for planning before the tour here.
Equipment:
Please note that any MTB tours can always be done with proper equipment.
Here our recommendation for tour preparation and equipment.
Additional information:
As new figures on the playing field of mountain and recreational sportsmen, we E-MTB riders have a special responsibility to behave appropriately.
In Graubünden bikers and hikers share the paths. A project that should set a precedent. But this can only be done with mutual respect. Black sheep throw us back years.
With common rules of play, we ensure that the forest will continue to provide a unique recreational and living space as well as jobs for everyone in the future.

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
