Cycling & Mountainbiking

Besides the numerous hiking trails, bikers can also enjoy their sport here in the Salzkammergut Region. The Gosau and Goiserer valley are well accessible by many forest roads and are thus perfect for your vacation by bike. The MTB-competence center in Bad Goisern informs you further about the different routes.

Following you will find two trails which you can do near our guesthouse:

The Plassen trail

This trail can be done in two different versions. Version 1 starts at the tourist office in Gosau. From there you go along the stream Gosau to the Steinermühle. From there it goes up and you go past direction Rossalm and then along the forest road to Echerntal in Hallstatt. On the Hallstätter Landesstraße you go until you reach the crossing Gosaumühle and from there you go left and go back to the old way which leads you back to the main country road. Follow it to go back to the tourist office in Gosau.

Version 2 leads you from the tourist office in Gosau along the stream Gosau to lake Gosausee. There you turn right direction Grub- and Rossalm. From there the way is identical with version 1.

The Iglmoos trail

From Gosau this trail leads you to the Iglmoosalm and further to the Goisererhütte which is located at 1.600 metres altitude. You start again at the tourist office in Gosau and go past the local indoor swimmingpool to the cementary. You follow the old Pass-Gschütt-Straße until you reach street B166. After approximately 2 kilometers you turn right and follow the forest road direction Iglmoosalm. At kilometer 3.8 you turn to the forest road Wegscheid and after another 4 kilometers you turn left to Iglmoosalm. Shortly after the mountain hut you have to turn because of a ban on driving and thus you have to go back.
