Mountain bike route from St. Johann - Rettenebenalm to St. Veit - Kinderalm
Great mountain bike route with a wonderful view of St. Johann and St. Veit
In this route there is something for everyone: asphalt road, forest road, and woodland path. We start in Alpendorf and ride to St. Johann. A part along the Tauern cycle path and then up the hill past McDonald's to Rettenebenalm. The climb is quite strenuous. But once at the top, you're rewarded with a good snack board or a Kaiserschmarrn for your efforts. After Rettenebenalm, you go into the forest. Here you have to push the bike for a short distance. Then it goes gently down to Kinderalm and then on to St. Veit. By the way: Kinderalm is not a hut but a silent monastery. So you cannot stop here. From St. Veit, it goes back to Schwarzach again onto the Tauern cycle path and back to Alpendorf.
Author’s recommendation
From the terrace of Rettenebenalm, you have a beautiful view.
On warm summer days, start early in the morning. The ascent is almost entirely in the sun.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
