Beautiful round trip around the Leoganger and Loferer Steinberge. Watery with some lakes.

Circular tour with some highlights and swimming opportunities around the Leoganger and Loferer Steinberge. Full of variations with speed routes, but also winding approaches and descents. Rustic and traditional alpine huts and Austrian hospitality in cosy inns accompany the enduring cyclists.

Turn-by-turn directions

Start at the Maria Alm tourist office, head towards the fire station and along the cycle path to Almdorf, in Almdorf turn right and cross the Bunderstraße to Rain. Continue to Ramseiden to the barracks and follow the Tauern cycle path to Weissbach - good, asphalted cycle path - and Lofer. In Lofer, go through the town centre in the direction of Pass Strub (partly gravel). Alternatively, you can take the main road (attention: tunnel). Here we take the traffic-calmed road to the left of the main road to Waidring and left again towards Pillersee. Shortly after St. Ulrich keep in the direction of Schwendt. Then follow a beautiful road to the Wiesensee lake. From here we follow the cycle path to Hochfilzen. We pass the Grießensee lake and cycle down to Leogang and Saalfelden. Continue along the cycle path you have already ridden back to Maria Alm.
