- Description
-
Over one of the highest grass mountains in Europe, the Hundstein (2.117m), the demanding tour leads towards Zell am See. A jump into the Zeller See and a summit victory with great views compensates for the efforts!
- Directions
-
Just follow the signs for "MA 04 Hundstein Loop."
You start at the tourist office in Maria Alm and take the road behind the church to the main road (B164). After about 50m on the federal road, turn right to cross the Urslau.
Immediately after the bridge, turn left and follow the path to the Unterberg district. There, take the path that leads you through Gasthof Christernreith, Grießbachalm (e-bike charging station), Lohning Alm, and Dirndlalm (e-bike charging station) to the highest point of the tour, the Statzerhaus (2117m).
From the summit of Hundstein, roll back approximately 200m on the same route, take the first left turn, and follow the "Rad&Bike Pinzgau" signs to Thumersbach.
Then, ride along the Tauern Cycle Path via Schloss Prielau – Maishofen – Gerling – Almdorf back to Maria Alm. Every year, the legendary uphill race "Hundstoa biag di" takes place along the route from Maria Alm to Statzerhaus.
