The mountain bike route along the ridge of Roßfeld shines with views towards Salzburg and the Tennengau region.
From the parking lot of the Watzmann Spa, we ride on the Berchtesgadener Radstern-Ost (white star on brown background) first to Unterau, then off the main road to Oberau and onwards to Roßfeldstraße. On the wide ring road we climb up to the Roßfeld ski area. With a view towards the Göll east wall, we cycle along the ridge.
Author’s recommendation
The descent on the wide road with many hairpin bends is a pleasure.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

On the main road, we cycle towards the Enzianbrennerei Grassl. On the opposite side, the steep Reckenbergstraße branches off towards Scheffau, which we follow up to the turning into Lindenweg.
Via Oberau, we cycle on Weißensteiner Weg to Roßfeldstraße. Now we ride with the mountain bikes on the Roßfeld Panorama Road up to the highest point of the road. Along the ridge, it goes to Obere Ahornalm and then on the south side of Roßfeldstraße back downhill. From the south toll station, follow the directions of MTB Route 8: Kehlstein Loop!
