Mountain bike route Hundstein

The newly designed town centre in the area of Raiffeisenstraße in Bruck an der Glocknerstraße is the starting point for the tour to the summit of the Hundstein.
To begin, cross the Salzach River on the Glockner Bridge, immediately turn right and continue along the Salzach River downstream in an easterly direction. After 1.5 km, there is an ascent on the left and you follow the signs for the Hundstein mountain bike route. The first strenuous section begins here.
On a steep asphalt road, you overcome the first 340 metres in altitude in seven long serpentines. A long straight follows, which leads into a wide right-hand bend. The spectacular view of the western Salzach valley invites you to take a breather.
After two more narrow bends, you pass a farm and then reach a small parking bay in front of a road barrier. Here the asphalt road ends and turns into a gravel path, on which you continue parallel to the slope, but steadily uphill, through dense coniferous forest. Shortly afterwards, you ride over several steep and blocky hairpin bends that demand a lot from the cyclist before you reach a small holiday settlement at the Erlhofplatte.
You follow a narrow forest path marked "MTB" through the settlement and cycle north along the western flank of the Hahneckkogel. In the valley you can see Zellam See and the Zeller See.Below the Breitenkopf, a wide right-hand bend leads to over 1700 m above sea level. The ice fountain, a small spring, offers an excellent opportunity to refill your water bottles. Still following the "MTB" signs to the north, you soon reach the tree line. High above Zell am See, you now continue over the Moosalmhöhe, where the ridge has to be crossed. On the east side, the route goes over the Ebnerscharte past the Ochsenkopf. Here you have the destination of the tour, the 2117 m high Hundstein, in front of you. On the left hand side, a narrow, blocky trail branches off, which you follow up to the summit of the Hundstein. After a short stretch, you reach a passable gravel path on which you cover the last few metres up to the summit cross. After a well-deserved refreshment at the Statzerhaus and the breathtaking view of the surrounding peaks, it is recommended to check the brakes before starting the descent.
You follow the same path back to the starting point in Bruck.
