Mountain bike tour with stunning views near the Explorer Hotel Hinterstoder
The tour starts at the municipal office in Spital am Pyhrn. You ride past the panoramic indoor swimming pool and reach a fork, which takes you – after two left turns – onto a gravel road. After a short while, this road turns into an asphalt road, and you turn left.
The path leads you past the Pantl spring, where Spital's drinking water supply originates. It then leads through the barrier and immediately left up to the house. Behind the house, turn right up the road and left at the next junction.
After a short downhill section, turn left and follow the road to the power plant. From here, you descend on a forest path and reach a farm track.
Follow the farm track downhill to the third bend and turn right over the bridge. After the left turn, the path takes you back to the barrier from before. From here, the path is familiar and you pass the spring again. After the first left turn, continue downhill. Following the road, turn right and then left, past the Lindenhof and back to the starting point.
Adventure along the way: Dr. Vogelgesang Gorge
If you still have strength in your legs on the way back or need a break from biking, a detour to the beautiful natural spectacle, the Dr. Vogelgesang Gorge, is worthwhile. Here, the longest gorge in Upper Austria awaits you. There are approximately 500 steps to climb when walking through the gorge.
