In contrast to the Attersee this tour with the super great 4 lakes is very nice to drive. Mostly everything runs off the roads. The start has it but in the same time goes an hour over the mountain where you have to overcome almost 400 vertical meters. Partly as steep as the front wheel lifts. Otherwise, go well with a trekking bike. Brake system should work well, on the other hand, it goes downhill with 17% gradient. Had 72Km / h on the clock. The rest of the route is easy for experienced bikers to master.

The route leads up a shady forest path, but the 400m of elevation gain are quite a challenge.
