Soft trail round

Since 2002, Leogang has been home to Europe's largest facility for mountain biking. Mountain bike fans can let off steam here on numerous slopes with rapid and sometimes very challenging descents over hill and dale.
The starting point for the soft trail loop is the Asitzbahn car park at the bike park in Leogang. This tour is also easy for beginners. The gondola lift takes you comfortably to the mountain station at 1760 m above sea level (a lift ticket is required!).
Before setting off on the trail, it is a good idea to make a short detour to the summit of the Kleiner Asitzkopf at 1872 m above sea level.
To do this, you ride up the steep forest path, reach the summit after a few minutes and can enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama. Return along the same path and now follow the signposting  "MTB-Panoramatour" to the left onto a narrow single trail that leads into a piece of forest. After a few metres, there is a short slog over narrow serpentines up to the Schönleitenhütte. From here, the route descends rapidly on gravel paths towards Jausern and Saalbach. After two hairpin bends, the route goes uphill again towards the Panoramaalm, and after further ups and downs you reach the Thurneralm.
From there you follow the wonderful forest and meadow trail to the Panoramaalm and further through the forest to get downhill to the Bixerbaueralm on the Spielberg plateau. For the following short section, there is a choice of two variants (Big 5 black and Big 5 red), which meet again below the Spielberghaus. There you leave the Big 5 route and continue downhill in the direction of Eiserne Hand, passing the car park of the Burgeralm at 1279 m above sea level.
The dense coniferous forest offers maximum biking pleasure! The route continues straight ahead, then in a few narrow bends and over several bridges along the stream. The long descent ends behind the Eiserne Hand inn. After the inn, continue half-right up an asphalt road to the hamlet of Hafenberg and on to Feistenau. This section of the route is particularly scenic and offers a breathtaking mountain panorama. A short climb on the B164 takes you to Hochfilzen, where you cross under the railway tracks on the left and follow the signs to Leogang. Now the trail winds for a few kilometres through the Grießener Moor, a bird paradise, and through several small villages.
A last beautiful descent leads to the valley station of the Asitzbahn, where this wonderful tour began.
