Walkers and hikers always have priority. A friendly and considerate approach to pedestrians is a prerequisite. In case of encounters, it is important to make yourself heard with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

Our nature and landscape is virtually untouched and beautiful. To keep it that way, we ask holidaymakers to avoid litter and unnecessary noise. In order not to disturb the animals, the mountain bike trails should only be used during the day:

Ride only on cleared, marked trails and never off the beaten track. On the forest trails, the road traffic regulations must be observed!

Just like when driving a car, you should always ride on sight when mountain biking. On the frosty roads, wood on the roadway and motor vehicles are to be expected.

If you come across grazing animals on the trail, reduce your speed to walking pace to avoid wrong reactions of the animals. Please always close grazing gates!

Correct self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overexert yourself in terms of technique and physical condition. This also helps to avoid accidents.

Mountain bike: roadworthy (e-)mountain bike with plenty of wheel traction, bike helmet, if necessary enduro or full-face helmet, if necessary elbow and knee protectors, if necessary back and shin protector, day bike backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, mountain bike shoes with ankle protection, weather-adapted and durable clothing in multi-layer principle (e.g. functional shirt, bike jersey, bib shorts, arm warmers and leg warmers). shatterproof cycling glasses, long-finger gloves, air pump, bicycle tools, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, water bottle and suitable holder, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, if necessary cell phone holder for the handlebars, if necessary headlamp and reflectors, maps.

Be sure to visit the small Klementik Chapel at Ingeringsee. Here you have a wonderful view over the lake and the Seckau Alps. The Gaal bathing pond is a wonderful place for refreshment.
