    Safety information

    FAIR PLAY & RESPECT:

    Mindfulness for nature – landowners – your health.... and safety on the mountain have the highest priority for your tour and the associated tour planning!

    Therefore, before every bike tour, inform yourself about the rules of conduct - Safety on the Mountain - as well as the current weather conditions.

    Waste disposal:

    Waste cannot always be avoided - but it has no place in nature and must be disposed of properly (preferably in the valley or at home). 

    Emergency numbers:

    Euro emergency number: 112 (access to any available network)

    Austrian alpine emergency number: 140

    Roadbook

    Route summarized in keywords:

    Vorderberg natural adventure pool - Werbutzalm

    Starting/ending point:

    Your tour starts at the Vorderberg natural adventure pool, from where you ride along the L27 southwest. At the following left curve, you turn right, cross the stream, and then turn left. You follow the route parallel to the stream, heading towards the forest edge - at the church in the hollow, you follow the road along the left curve. At the next curve, turn right and continue along the gravel road, through numerous curves, steeply uphill through the forest. At the junctions along the route, continue straight ahead - you remain along the forest road. At about 1,300 m, you leave the forest behind and reach the alpine meadows and shortly thereafter the destination of your tour - the Werbutzalm.

    Return trip:

    The indicated time includes the approximate time needed for ascent, but not the time required for the return trip/descent.
