Oberzeiring to Bretstein

You start your bike tour at the market square in Oberzeiring and ride from there towards St. Oswald. In the direction of St. Oswald, you pass the Probstei after a hill on the left-hand side to a farm called "Bartelbauer", then turn left and follow the gravel path. The gravel path leads you past the Adelwöhrerhof to the "Kroisenbach". There you come to the road again. - Turn left down the road and then right onto the cycle path towards the leisure center and on to the Scherkl inn. At the Scherkl inn, cross the main road and cycle along the main road to Zistl and then on to Bretstein. You can also continue to Bretstein-Gassen, past the concentration camp memorial to the Gamperhütte or Schwabergerhütte.

The last stretch to the hut is on a gravel road.

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 known with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

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

from May 1 to September 15 from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

from 16 September to 31 October from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

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

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

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

Proper self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overstrain yourself in technique and condition. This also avoids accidents.
