A wonderfully steep climb, broken up by distinctive curves. Not really that difficult, 20 to 24 percent, but your legs will start to get heavy here. In summer, it might …

Hirschenkreuz Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Crisp ascent to the Eisernes Tor shelter. A long straight, but more stimulating as a challenge than the last piece of forest road. It's almost done at the observation bench.

Not to be confused with Karlruhe in Germany - that's not that big :-)

Seriously: a nice resting place along the rocky trail.

January 3, 2024,🚵‍♂️ 1498 hm (lt. Navi): Helenental - Eisernes Tor - Sooß - Lindkogel - Baden

I hadn't planned on such a huge tour today, but a lot of things turned out to be different than planned.

It started right at the start. The sun shone everywhere but here, here it was storming and pouring. 20 minutes of rain and 10 more minutes later and the sky turned blue again. I decided to start late.

Once again - this year for the first time - up the Lindkogel to the Iron Gate. I ride this varied route a few times a year. I always park at the car park near the Hotel Sacher in Baden. It then goes along the Helenental, past the Antonsgrotte and after the Augustinerhütte the ascent begins slowly but steadily. This …

At km 22.4 from Komoot, a slope was piloted that would be a challenge even on foot, and it is also strewn with thorns. 😵😤

June 29, 2024,MTB-TOUR Hoher Lindkogel mit Andrea

We set off from the Baden registry office (our adventure together began here exactly 35 years ago) towards the Hohen Lindkogel.
A special challenge on the hottest day of the year. We refilled our supplies at the Iron Gate.
Then we went back to Baden.
The end at El Gacho was also a culinary highlight.
