바트 호프가스타인 최고의 라이딩 경로

Found by chance on Google Maps. This is a must-go. Starting at 5 p.m., there's a "show cooking" event over an open fire. The chef cooks everything on the fire pit. That alone is worth a stop. Plus, the delicious home-brewed beer, which you can buy in 2-liter siphons. A rustic atmosphere in this 500-year-old inn.

Everything went smoothly. We booked the tickets online from Bad Gastein to Mallnitz. We unnecessarily cycled to Böckstein and boarded there. But that wasn't a problem. Tickets are accepted digitally. We had to leave the bikes in the front carriage and then board the last carriage. The cars are transported in between.

Beautiful old building in Bad Hofgastein

Known in recent centuries as Wildbad, since 1997 only with the suffix "Bad" (Bad); the village develops to the left and right of the Gastein Waterfall; the Gasteiner Ache falls here in three stages, 341 m deep; the location of the village center on the steep slopes, constrained by high mountains, has led to numerous multi-story buildings, especially imposing hotels – mostly from the Belle Epoque – as well as generally quite narrow streets (colloquially also referred to as a "skyscraper village"); the difference in elevation in the village center alone, between the spring gardens and the train station, is 80 m; today a center of summer and winter tourism in the Gastein Valley.

Shortly before the Gasteiner Ache flows into the Salzach, it flows through a deep gorge at its northern end and then plunges over an impressive terrace toward the valley floor. The actual gorge road is no longer passable due to rockfall; a cycle track leads through the gorge tunnel into the Gasteiner Valley.

Beautiful new flower boxes

From here you can take a relaxed train ride through the tunnel every hour.

Turn-off from the Salzach into the Gastein Valley. From here, the trail climbs the Gasteiner Ache, with several steep sections.
