Tour description

A panoramic mountain bike tour on the sunny side of Niedernsill and Piesendorf with a medium level of difficulty for all mountain bikers.

From Niedernsill you cycle bend by bend via Gaisbichl to Hochprack and along the forest road to Röderlehen, always with the peaks of the Hohe Tauern in view and impressive views of the wide Salzach valley. The power station at Naglköpfl is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and make a stopover.
