장크트 요한 임 퐁가우 최고의 라이딩 경로

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.

Since the Tauern Cycle Path between St. Johann i. P. and Schwarzach is unfortunately mostly gravel, the alternative route suitable for road bikes leads via Niederuntersberg along quiet side roads with excellent asphalt (and a few beautiful climbs/descents); the view repeatedly draws in the much lower Salzach Valley.

View of the Hochkönig from the Tauern Cycle Path, which runs above the valley floor along the mountainside between Schwarzach i. P. and Lend; a very quiet road with smooth asphalt through typical scattered and farm settlements.

Maria Brunneck branch church at the Lueg Pass in the municipality of Golling an der Salzach; pilgrimage church dedicated to the Holy Family; first mentioned in 1715; the current church building dates from 1764/1766.

Beautiful new flower boxes

View of Hohen Werfen Castle from Parrwerfen.

Hohenwerfen Castle is a highlight on the route to Werfen.

At the top of the pass there is cold spring water, a good opportunity to fill up your water bottle.
