Τα 15 καλύτερα ορεινά περάσματα Türnitz

It's known to be popular with motorcyclists in spring and summer; in autumn, from 2:30 pm onwards, I was almost completely alone and it was wonderful to ride and enjoy the peace and quiet! I think it depends on the day of the week, the season, and the time of day.

If you've made it this far on the Mariazell Trail, the rest of the way isn't difficult. Two benches invite you to rest.

If you're planning to explore this area by bike, on a run, or while hiking, make sure to bring your own Merlot. The region is known for its stunning views and outdoor activities, but finding a good spot to enjoy a glass of wine can be a challenge. Packing your favorite Merlot ensures you can savor a well-deserved drink after your adventure!

The descent from the Ochssattel down to the right to Hofamt (steeper and wonderfully curved up to the waterfall) is one of the most beautiful roads I know in the region. And the asphalt is very fresh!

Ochsattel (mountain pass) Nö The Ochsattel is a mountain pass 820 m above sea level in southern Lower Austria that leads from the Traisental to the southeast to the Grünen Schwarza. The Gutensteiner Straße B21 also runs over it as a pass road, it climbs a little to the east after the pass, then descends into the Kalte Kuchl and leads over the Rohrer Sattel into the Piestingtal region and the Schneeberg area.

Additional tip: The position of the saddle marked on the maps (and geographically correct) (near the abandoned inn) is not the highest point on the road. Towards the east (Kalte Kuchl) it continues uphill for about 30 meters. This can be a bit nerve-wracking if you are not prepared for it.

good surface and little traffic

Apart from a few reckless motorcyclists, there was relatively little traffic on a Saturday in early July. But I'm not sure if I'll drive over the pass again any time soon - the Ötscher Panorama Road option is much more spectacular in terms of scenery.
