At the foot of the Hochkönig

High and royal – the clue is in the name.

Start at the Wagrain tourist office. In Wagrain take the crossing to direction St. Johann im Pongau. From there continue to the Salzach-valley to St. Veit im Pongau and across the Pongauer Sonnenplateau and Goldegg am See to Schwarzach. Continue to Lend alongside the roaring river Salzach. Turn right and follow the narrow valley for 10 km to Dienten. Take the mountain pass Dientner Sattel with the legendary Übergossene Alm to Mühlbach. A recommended bonus is an excursion to the Arthurhaus (15% ascent!). Follow the Mühlbachtal-street downhill along the stream to Bischofshofen and Mitterberghütten. Turn left crossing the rails and ride to St. Johann im Pongau, the district capital with the Pongauer Dom and continue to the starting point Wagrain.
