ヴァルト・イム・ピンツガウの峠・トップ14

August 11, 2025 The Filzenscharte has been significantly improved. You can now take the lower trail with your mountain bike (push your bike). Planks have been laid along the entire length through the moor, allowing you to push your bike easily without any incline. The fence you previously had to lift your bike over has also been removed and replaced with two removable electric wires. It's super convenient now. Please always reattach the electric fence! The walk through the moor only takes a few minutes. You can safely forget the upper trail.

The route from Wald im Pinzgau via Krimml to the Gerlosplatte is a scenic highlight, but also a technical challenge that shouldn't be underestimated. From Krimml, the climb to the Gerlos Alpine Road begins, averaging a gradient of 7 to 8 percent. The steepest sections await you after the toll booth – there it gets really tough for a short while. It's best to start early in the morning to avoid the heaviest traffic (and the summer heat). A quick stop at the Krimml Waterfalls is worthwhile – spectacular views (and a perfect excuse to catch your breath).

From Stangenjoch to Rettenstein <👍Trail insert - rideable> Very nice up to Aschau

Recently, a small, easy-to-ride trail replaced the previous pushing section!

A great way to get to Pinzgau, even from the north side to just below the pass with an EMTB. You only have to push the last 100 meters. Once you reach the top, you'll have a fantastic view of the Tauern and the main Alpine ridge.

Cozy snack station with friendly hut owners and a great view. We only had something cold to drink, but the food around us looked very tasty. The portions were respectable. Opening times: end of May to October, no closing day.

1,713 meter high yoke in front of the Rettenstein with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains.

Mountain pass. 1713 meter elevation.
