The Steinernes Meer is an impressive karst plateau between the Watzmann massif, Königssee, Hagengebirge, Hochkönigstock and Hochkalter massif. The largest massif of the Berchtesgaden Alps looks like a petrified sea with rolling, stony waves - hence the name Steinernes Meer.

August 29, 2023,Tauernradweg von Krimml nach Passau - Tag 2 bis St. Martin bei Lofer🚴‍♀️🏞

Day 2 of the Tauern Cycle Path. The weather holds up well until the early afternoon. Pretty cool though. Unfortunately heavy rain again in the last hour.
Shortly after Kaprun road closure due to high water. The alternative way very steeply up to the road.
Pretty bad signage for the cycle path through Zell am See. But then great bike …

June 20, 2022,2. Zell am See nach Lofer

The route from Zell via Maria Alm to Saalfelden leads through varied meadow landscapes with small towns and farmsteads. The view has room for width, but also for great views of the mountains. The further path through the narrow valley of the Salach leads over an interesting and well-prepared cycle path through forest areas, unfortunately always close to the road.

Spent morning in beautiful Zell am See then leisurely ride along the lake with stunning Steirnernes Meer in front. Another beautiful sunny day with breathtaking views.
Beautiful village of Maria Alm for midday coffee & snack, next to the church.

September 24, 2021,Tauernradweg Etappe 5 von Lofer bis Zell am See

On my last stage it went up and down moderately, I chose the variant via Maria Alm, church worth seeing, and in the village of Almhöfe you can see beautiful old farms. My conclusion, the landscape of the Tauern Cycle Path is awesome, and I will definitely do it again, very recommendable
