Up the Sölkpass with a detour to the Augustinerbründl
A mountain bike tour for advanced! Scenically, however, a terrific route.
Due to the length, as well as the altitude meters, a certain endurance and condition is required. Once you reach the pass, however, the strenuous climb is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view. Downhill you can let your legs dangle, because the bike sets the necessary pace.
