Description:
On a wide gravel path, which you share with other passionate mountain bikers and hikers, you ride up at a leisurely pace. As you pedal, you enjoy the view of the Hochvogel, whose striking peak marks the border between Germany and Austria.

Your constant companion is the Hornbach, which babbles in its huge gravel bed. You cross the river twice so that you can change your perspective of the breathtaking landscape.


On the last kilometer, you shift down a gear and keep pedalling, as this is followed by a section with a slightly steeper incline. As a reward for your efforts, you can stop off at the Petersbergalm.


In summer, 22 dairy cows graze here and their milk is made into cheese on site. In addition to the delicious cheese, you can also sample tasty, homemade soups, snacks and other specialties before you whizz back down the Hornbachtal valley.

Safety guidelines:
It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries in mountain biking. Despite careful tour planning, there is always a basic risk. Tour preparation through endurance sports, appropriate technical training and advanced training as well as personal prudence reduce the risk of accidents and risks. However, please never forget that the weather in the mountains can change very quickly. In Austria, mountain biking is generally prohibited by law on all forest and hiking trails, with the exception of mountain bike trails expressly approved for this purpose. The entrances to forest roads are sometimes marked with no-cycling signs and additional information such as "No cycling". Hiking trails do not have these prohibition signs, but it is still forbidden to ride on them.
