Recommended season:
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August
- September
- October
- Multi-stage route
This stage includes neither single trails nor push sections. Highlights alongside the wonderful nature are as follows:
- Mondsee west shore and Gaisberg with panoramic view over the Mondsee with Schafberg, Drachenwand and Schober,
- Wildmoos nature reserve towards Saurüssel, where encounters with forest inhabitants may occur,
- Lonely hamlets between Vöcklatal and snack place on Kogler Berg,
- Irrsee with a series of traditional cider taverns and the nearby ruins of Burg Wildenegg,
- Panoramic views over Irrsee, Mondsee and as far as Salzburg with Untersberg and Stauffen,
- Downhill Thalgauberg to Thalgau then on to the Rauchhaus and the Hundsmarktmühle with a detour to the ruins of Wartenfels
- and sunset on the east shore of the Fuschlsee
From the center, we follow the route description of stage 1 of the BergeSeen eTrail towards the west shore of the Mondsee. We follow the bike path towards Thalgau before leaving it uphill to the right onto Gaisbergstraße. To our right we now have the panoramic view over the Mondsee with the surrounding mountains, until we turn left at "Am Gaisberg".
We pass under the highway, leave the Erlachmühle snack station to the right, and continue uphill always following the signs towards Hochmoor. Here high above the Mondsee we enjoy the wonderful panorama once again before crossing the Vöckla river near the Wildmoos nature reserve and diving into the forest on the right.
The route is well signposted, which is a must with the many junctions, as otherwise it would be difficult to find the right way. Below the Saurüssel (956m) the path leads over the station (817m) into the Vöcklatal. We turn right onto the Vöcklatal district road (km 22.6) and leave it 100m later after crossing the Vöckla to the left uphill towards Jagdhub. The asphalt road goes only a few kilometers through some hamlets towards Koglerberg. There is absolute silence here. Only the screeching of birds of prey, the roe deer on the way, looking up surprised and then slowly trotting away, disturb the silence.
To the right of the path, before it goes downhill again towards Irrsee, we find an old barn with a weathered bench, inviting us to enjoy the brought snack with a view far into the land towards Innviertel and the summer wood church on the opposite mountain, which will shortly pass us by. But before that, we pass under the B154 road to Oberhofen am Irrsee. Now begins the land of cider taverns and snack stations.
It will be difficult not to stop, since we still have a few things to experience on the way to Fuschlsee. Alternatively, we could now also head to the west shore of Irrsee to possibly take a jump into the lake depending on the season or enjoy a fresh fish. Otherwise, the route continues towards Sommerholz before the forest of Kolomannsberg swallows us and on the left we have the opportunity to visit the ruins of Burg Wildenegg. The path leads steadily uphill and repeatedly offers wonderful panoramic views towards Irrsee and Mondsee, before we come out of the forest at the highest point of the day at 940 m and initiate a turn left towards Salzburg.
Coming out of the forest, the Schober mountain lies directly ahead and in the direction of travel, we see the local mountains of the city of Salzburg: the Gaisberg with Nockstein and the Untersberg with the Stauffen. Now it goes rapidly downhill over Thalgauberg towards Thalgau. We pass under the highway and cross Mondseerstraße to the left, shortly afterwards turning right towards Fuschler Ache to follow the bike path to Thalgau. The route leads us upstream through Thalgau always following the Salzkammergut cycling route until we turn left in the lower village, cross the Brunnbach stream, and follow the signs to Fuschl.
After several turns, it goes uphill again on asphalt, but very low-traffic, on the Riedlstraße until the Rauchhaus appears on the right, which is a must-visit.
The view now extends far into the land again and we see the highest point on the other side of the valley, which we came out of not long ago. The path continues to the Kesselstraße junction, where we turn right downhill, then after a few bends turn left towards Seestraße. Now it goes through the moor at the west end of Fuschlsee and after a few minutes, there is a small snack station to the left of the path before the last climb of the day towards Thalgauegg.
We reach Fuschler Straße L227, turn right and follow it to Fuschl to cool off at the lake or enjoy our dinner in the sunset.
For those who still have enough battery in the legs and on the bike, there is the option to turn left at Thalgauegg towards the ruins of Wartenfels to enjoy the view and then descend to the destination of the first stage.
Tip:Lunch break at the west shore of Irrsee and sunset feeling like in the Caribbean directly at the destination, the east shore of Fuschlsee.
Safety guidelines:For a successful, accident-free and exciting day, you will find tips here for the planning before the route.
Equipment:Please note that any MTB routes must always be tackled with flawless equipment.
Here is our recommendation for tour preparation and equipment.
Additional information:As new players on the field of mountain and leisure sports, we e-MTB riders are especially obliged to behave appropriately.
In Graubünden, bikers and hikers share the trails. A project that should set an example. But that only works with mutual respect. Black sheep set us back for years.
With shared rules of conduct we ensure that the forest will continue to be a unique recreational and living space as well as a workplace for everyone.

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
