Take a break! and enjoy the view of the valley

Very nice, you shouldn't miss it. 🤩

The Lower Fortress, built in 1837, is located at the Lueg Pass near Golling and is today an impressive historic structure directly on the cycle path through the Salzach Gorge. Originally serving as a customs and toll post around 1160, the pass was used strategically. The first fortifications were built in the 13th century. In the 17th century, Prince-Archbishop Paris Count Lodron had a new fortress built with the so-called Blockhaus to secure the national border. After being destroyed in the early 19th century, the fortress was rebuilt between 1834 and 1837. The cycle path today leads through an old tunnel hewn into the rock directly below the fortress and offers a special combination of nature and history. The cool passage and the wildly romantic surroundings make this section a highlight for cyclists. A gentle incline, well-paved path, and the proximity to the historic site invite you to take a short break or explore the surrounding area on foot.

Great for driving

Pass Lueg is a small but distinctive Alpine pass in the Tennengau region of Salzburg, not far from Golling an der Salzach. It's a short but challenging climb by bike – especially from Golling, there are steep but manageable climbs. The route is paved and generally lightly trafficked. The highest point offers impressive views of the Tennengebirge mountains. The pass can easily be integrated into a longer bike tour, for example, in combination with a route along the Salzach or towards Werfen.

Coming from the direction of Golling, the ascent to the Lueg Pass is still fairly OK. The cycle path runs along a strip on the road or slightly off the road. The descent, however, is horrible; there is no cycle path and you cycle on the main road.
