ロッテンマンの峠・トップ13

Above all, reaching the top of the pass is a real highlight

The Pyhrn Pass is an impressive mountain pass in Austria, located at an elevation of 954 m above sea level. Here are some interesting facts about the Pyhrn Pass: Location: It lies on the border between the Austrian federal states of Upper Austria in the north and Styria in the south. Geographical features: The pass separates the Totes Gebirge mountain range in the west from the Haller Mauern mountain range in the east and is part of the Northern Limestone Alps of the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen region. Transport links: The Pyhrn Pass connects the towns of Spital am Pyhrn and Liezen, making it an important north-south route. Historical significance: It is the lowest Alpine pass in the Eastern Alps and was already in use in ancient times.

There was relatively heavy traffic, including heavy goods vehicles, and an unbraked 40-ton truck overtook me with less than 1 meter of clearance. I'm annoyed that I ignored a friend's advice to use the Sölk Pass.

Always following the road, you go over the Pyhrn Pass. Connection between R31 in Upper Austria and R7 in Styria.

Here, the R7 Enns cycle path runs directly along the main road, with a few exceptions (tunnels), meaning you have to share the road with cars, motorbikes and buses. For me, however, on a beautiful Saturday, it was surprisingly pleasant 👌 Scenery: A dream!

The Planneralm is a place of power in itself, the highest mountain village in Styria. Here you will find a Robin Hood archery course, many lonely hiking trails and also a few huts for eating and sleeping. Further information at: https://www.planneralm.at.

Nice pass, although I prefer the north side... the south side "pulls" a bit... Sometimes not so pleasant because of the traffic...

Wasn't that much fun. Lots of heavy traffic on the way. I had to dismount several times to make it pass me.
