- Description
-
From Gerlos in the direction of the Durlassboden reservoir to the Seestüberl. Over the dam crest you go along the shore past the Bärschlagalm to the Alpengasthof Finkau. From here you ride along the shady goods road to the rustic Trisslalm. Continue through open terrain along the stream through the beautiful back Wildgerlostal. Directly at the material cable car, the bike can be parked and it goes on foot to the Zittauer Hütte.
- Directions
-
After a few meters on the Iss-Flow Trail, you turn left immediately after the first bend. Short steep, partly stepped steps are waiting for you. Especially for alpine trail bikers such natural and technical trails are interesting. If you don't dare to take the jumps right away, you can also ride around them. With flat passages you have time to prepare for the next challenge. At the wooden bridge, you have to decide whether to return to the Iss-Flow Trail or venture onto an even more difficult trail, the Iss-Vertical.
