    Gravel bike route over the Aschauersattel and Obermayrberg to the Hundalm - in the shape of a figure 8.

    The first few kilometers run flat along the Saalach - ideal for warming up. In Reith, the first climb to the Aschauersattel begins. After the descent, it goes via Schneizlreuth and Unken back to Reith, where the next ascent awaits: up to Obermayrberg, past the viewing platform and onwards to Hundalm - the highest point of the route. Over the St. Martiner Hirschbichl you reach St. Martin and then back to the starting point in Lofer on the bike path along the federal road.

    Author’s recommendation

    The streams along the route invite you to cool off.
