Directions
The tour leads from the parking lot on the left to the intersection at Café Maislinger. Here continue right along the Augstbach in the direction of the Loser Skiarena. After about 500 meters, turn right onto the themed trail. At the beginning it's quite steep uphill! Follow the gravelled path until you reach the Scheiben torrent retention basin. Cross the road and continue along the gravel road until you reach the access road to the Salzwelten Altaussee. Follow this road to the right for a short distance, then turn left onto a forest road and continue on this road to the Loser Ski Arena.

The way back follows the same route!

A few tips for safe biking:

The helmet belongs to every tour.
Consider in advance what equipment you need: warm clothing, rain and wind protection, repair kit and first aid kit belong in the backpack. Also a charged cell phone.
