카운스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 산길

Reachable from the Kaunergrathütte within 1 hour

There are three tunnels at the bottom. While they're relatively short and well-lit, I still recommend at least a rear light for peace of mind (the signposted bicycle detour for the lowest tunnel is definitely NOT recommended, as there are scree slopes that are quite dangerous even if you're pushing your bike). Overall, though, it's such a beautiful and varied road that you almost (almost!) forget how much your legs hurt. The traffic is really very relaxed, especially on weekdays.

You pass this spot on the way to the summit. The route via the Kaunergrat Hut is more pleasant.

Be careful when leaving, the road is in pretty bad condition

At each bend there is a sign with the current altitude and the numbering at the bottom, starting with the total number of bends and then counting backwards to 1️⃣ so you always know how many you still have to go

It's got it all: a long climb, plenty of hairpin bends, and a breathtaking view. That's if you're not pedaling.

Marmots can be seen along the trail from time to time! It's worth stopping and observing them in the beautiful landscape.

Be careful on the descent; the surface is poor in places and the road surface is bumpy. Don't forget your jacket, otherwise the long descent can quickly become slippery! 😉
