The MTB - Tour Mörsbachalm begins in the beautifully situated alpine village Donnersbachwald - Ennstal - Styria. In the center of Donnersbachwald just off the main road there is a large parking lot. This is also the starting point for a total of 9 mountain biking and cycling tours in Donnersbachwald. On the information panels, one can before the start of MTB - Tour briefly look at the mountain bike stretch.

The mountain bike tour to the Mörsbachalm is labeled as "No. 4 - Mörsbachhüttentour. In the first few hundred meters you can warming up because the forest road is not so steep. After 3.5 kilometers you reach the front Mörsbachalm. The forest road is wide and in very good condition, but the average slope is about 13%. Some sections with about 20% slope to be overcome. From the front Mörsbachalm with ÖAV (Austrian Alpine Club) Edelweiss Mörsbachhütte and Mörsbachwirt there are excellent view points to the many surrounding mountains - Dornkarspitz, Steinkarspitze, Mörsbachspitz, Stadelfirst, Lammertörl, Lammertörlkopf, Mößnascharte, Schwarzkarspitz, Sonntagskarspitz, Gstemmerscharte, Bärneck and Riesnerkrispen.

After a further 2.5 kilometers you reach the rear Mörsbach-pasture "Hintere Mörsbachalm" after 6.1 kilometers and the highest point on the Mörsbachhüttentour with 1490m. After the ÖAV Edelweiss Mörsbachhut you're going down a few meter after a small creek crossing before the forest road climbs toward the rear Mörsbachalm. In mid-May, when I've driven the Mörsbachalm MTB - Tour, it is possible that the huts are still holding holiday. There was still plenty of snow on the mountains, but the tour could be easily navigate in the middle of May.

From the rear Mörsbachalm you go back on the same path back to the front Mörsbachalm. By the Mörsbachwirt you turn right and follow the forest road through the Stegerwald. The crossing of the creek is not a problem, since 2 very small bridges were built. Before the 3.5-kilometer descent to Donnersbachwald down there are 2 easy slopes.

Those with enough force, could bike with his mountain bike after the Mörsbachalm MTB - Tour also the Lärchkaralm MTB - Tour, Stallaalm MTB - Tour and the Riedleralm MTB - Tour. An up to 5 Alpine Mountain Marathon is purely on the paper produce a surely solvable problem. Only then you should really start at eight clock and the weather should be reasonably stable. But who wants to take more of the beautiful scenery and the wonderful atmosphere to be a mountain bike - recommended holiday Donnersbachwald much. In addition to the great mountain biking, there are numerous of great hiking trails.

To ensure we cyclists and mountain bikers in Donnersbach im Ennstal continue the wonderful opportunity offered to exercise formally in such a beautiful valley of the Austrian Alps to our beloved sport of mountain biking, it is of extremely great importance that keep all of us on the following rules and agreements . For, in addition to tourism, as elsewhere, hunting, forestry and agriculture in Donnersbachwald is important too. We must understand and respect the interests of farmers, forest owners, foresters and hunters.

• Opening times: Mid-May to late September from 8-18 Clock
• Hikers have priority: We drive carefully and select our speed so that we can stop at any time if necessary. Pedestrians to pass more slowly, and we are paying particular attention to children, the speeds and distances can not yet assess how we adults. A friendly welcome and a "thank you" when the walkers pave the way to help the mutual understanding and thus the image of mountain bikers.
• Respect for nature: We only drive during daylight hours and keep to the specified opening times. In the woods we go no earlier than 3 hours after it has become clear and leave the forest again and 3 hours before dark. We take our garbage with us again and avoid unnecessary noise. We leave nothing but our tire tracks and only take with our impressions. During braking, we sure do not block the wheels.
• We drive on the roads and paths on which allows mountain biking and cycling specifically, or is not prohibited. We never run wild through the woods. There are many special downhill trails in Austria.
• Uphill, it is also very important to set up the helmet.
  
  
• We are approaching the grazing in the slow tempo and prevent possible panic reactions. Also, we once again close the pasture gate very carefully. In encounters with wild animals, we adhere to in order to give them the opportunity to remove themselves without panic.
• The bike tour to prepare well: Take a cell phone, tools, and a small pharmacy with an emergency. Before beginning the bike tour, we look for options again if our bike is technically ok. To us not technically or stamina to overwhelm us, we inform in advance about the bike tour and observe the weather, which is in high alpine terrain, the weather turn very quickly. When a storm was coming, then we are looking for a suitable shelter in time. Before ascending the difficult passages of the doubt and just push the bike.
