Biking across the Alps 1.4: Hallstatt-Attersee

Date:
05.08.1995
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
4:45h
Distance:
40.5km

We started day 4 of this biking tour across the alps in Hallstatt and we knew that this day would be a shorter one ("only" to Attersee, which isn't all that far away from Hallstatt). We first followed the nice lake (on its western side) northwards and then continued along the Traun, which brought us to Bad Ischl quite quickly (about two hours of cycling). Since we were still in the Traun-valley, one last pass (not so very high, though) was still needed to get over to Attersee. We thus first continued to Mitterweissenbach, where we left the Traun-valley and set over to Weissenbach at Attersee, crossing a little pass in between. Once in Weissenbach, it really was not very far anymore to get to Steinbach, where we stopped this four days biking trip across the alps. In total, this >>>

Biking across the Alps 1.3: Krakaudorf-Hallstatt

Date:
04.08.1995
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
10:15h
Distance:
102.2km

We started day 3 of this biking tour across the alps somewhere between Krakaudorf and Schöder. We first stopped in Schöder to refill some supplies, before then heading for the one bigger pass on this day, i.e., Sölkpass (1790mosl). After about two hours, we happily arrived at this pass, enjoying another great day on our bikes. On the other, northern side, then, we enjoyed a long and nice ride through the Sölk-valley until we arrived at Stein in the Enns-valley. In order to continue on our overall north-oriented route, we immediately left the Enns-valley, again, crossing Mitterberg to the Salza-valley. Coming up to the height of the dam, which holds a substantial amount of Salza-water back, we then followed along the artificial lake for a longer stretch. From nearby Bad Mitterndorf, >>>

Biking across the Alps 1.2: Winkl-Krakaudorf

Date:
03.08.1995
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
13:15h
Distance:
90.2km

We started day 2 of this biking tour across the alps in Winkl near Ebene Reichenau with the goal to traverse the Nockberge first. We thus started on the Nockalmstrasse along the Stangenbach, heading for our first major pass on this tour, Schiesstlscharte (2025mosl). About two hours after starting our day, we eventually arrived at the pass, truly happy in all regards (beautiful nature, great views, and arriving at the pass after a strenuous ride). The next goal was then another nice pass in the Nockberge, not far from Schiesstlscharte, but with a significant "dive" into the Loebengraben in between (500 height meters down and then up again). After another two hours, we then arrived at this other pass, Steigerhöhe, at 2030mosl. All in all, we enjoyed the Nockberge a great lot, >>>

Biking across the Alps 1.1: Friesach-Winkl

Date:
02.08.1995
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
74.7km

After having taken the train from Wien towards the south/southwest, we started cycling in Friesach. We quickly came into the Metnitz-valley, which we followed upwards in western direction. At the very end of the valley, we included a small detour (up to Flattnitz at 1400mosl), before we rushed down, now in southern direction, into the Glödnitz-valley. For a short stretch, we followed then the Gurk-valley, before changing into northwestern direction (Sirnitz). From there, we then started our ascent to the next pass on this tour, i.e., Hochrindl at 1580mosl. On the other, western side, then, we quickly descended into the Gurk-valley (again) and ended our first day tour in the vicinity of Ebene Reichenau. More details about the entire bike-trip are available via a separate web page . Route details about four >>>
