Simply the ultimate road bike trail - through the spectacular gorge that the river Salzach dug deep into the rock. Right and left, the walls of the mountains tower high up. From the highway you can see this gorge only briefly but with the road bike you can enjoy every meter. And at the southern end of the gorge, the view opens onto the beautiful and well-preserved castle Werfen - a real racing bike highlight.

Nice to drive, normally little traffic. Slope is not that bad.
