You’re right about the lift from Schwarzach, and we do claim extra credit. Just drop it in my account, if you don’t mind. And I’m sure you’re right that this region deserves more time. I’ve been thinking the same thing as we’ve biked down. On the other hand, we want to get through to the Italian side before the weather breaks.
3 years agoThe ride down from pass lueg is a really pretty ride. The bit roughly from Tenneck to Werfen is pretty swell. The bit from the pass to there is a little sketchier with traffic. No room for a cycle lane. I think the train may pass through the mountain there. You’ve got a real fun climb coming south of Schwarzach. Extra credit if you manage to cycle all the way up it. The Kitzlochklamm near Schwarzach is quite a nice hike up the gorge. They also charge admission though. Too bad you’re on a mission to get to Italy. The Krimml falls and the rest of the Tauern Radweg are really great. By far my favorite ride in Europe.
3 years agoIt is worth it. I visited it on my first trip. Not as impressive as the Krimml falls at the beginning of the Tauern Radweg, but certainly worth the price of admission. Austria does have a tendency to monetize natural monuments. Krimml falls charges, the couple Klamms along the Tauern charge admission too. They do have well maintained trails though so I think they make suitable use of the funds.
3 years agoThis brought back a few memories of last year!
The Lueg is indeed a bit of work (and the very narrow gorge section to the South is a bit sketchy, particularly with the road works). I think the tunnel was closed to cyclists when I went through it as well - I naughtily ignored this in order to avoid the steep cutoff. Looks like good timing with the bus!
Scott and Rachael
I can see that this comment is already a couple of days behind. We also had a great time meeting both of you in Salzburg. I am glad everything worked out for you with your bikes. Too bad about the helmet.
In Mondsee now. Gmunden tomorrow and then off to Hallstatt on your recommended routing. It looks like the weather and routing will be spectacular. Thank you for everything. Take care,
Yes, it’s been too long since we had any real adventures here. We like to mix things up to keep our viewers interested.
3 years agoYou guys really know how to pack a lot of stuff into a single day. I’m seriously impressed! Quelle aventure! And that GoPro9 looks marvelous!
3 years agoNow that one at least I understand.

3 years agoQuite the interesting day, indeed!
3 years agoNice place, nice town. I was surprised that the literature is sort of dismissive of Werfen, simply describing it as a market town.

Looks like you had blue skies for mountain panoramas. Hopefully today, too! Great video with Gopro!
