    This moderately challenging mountain bike tour starts on the bike path, leads via Bruck an der Großglocknerstraße, and ascends on well-maintained asphalt and forest roads to the scenic Erlhofplatte. The varied route combines flat sections along Lake Zell with moderate climbs through forest and open terrain. Once at the top, you'll be rewarded with beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountain range – a great spot for photos or a short break. After reaching the highest point of the loop, the route leads back towards Bruck via varied paths and then continues along the bike path to the starting point. This tour is a classic in the region and is suitable for both mountain bikers and e-mountain bikers.

    Author’s recommendation

    Pack your swimsuit – there are lovely spots along the way to enjoy a refreshing dip in Lake Zell. You'll also find cozy places to stop for refreshments along the route, such as the Enzianhütte: https://www.berggasthof-zellamsee.at/
