For a break in this section you can choose between the farmed Moosalm and Bacherhütte on the pasture "Eisenaueralm". After a break at the cozy pasture "Bacherhütte", with good views of the Schafberg, starts after a few hundred meters, the technically difficult part of the descent. Because these 300-400m long descent is very steep and the gravel is quite loose, you should just push your mountain bike, if you are not sure. The rest of the downhill to Scharfling provides no more specific tasks, but mainly offers a really brilliant vantage point to the lake Mondsee in Upper Austria. In Scharfling follows on the "Mondsee Bundesstraße" the last climb on the Scharfling to St. Gilgen (approx. 4 kilometers) before you drive along the bike trails (Mozart bike path and Salzkammergut Cycle path) on Abersee and Strobl to St. Wolfgang, the finish of the MTB Tour Wolfgangsee.
In the last part of the Wolfgangsee MTB - Tour are mainly the local transits in St. Gilgen and Strobl, and the cycle road of Abersee to Strobl well worth seeing. |
