BergeSeen 02 with the eMTB from Fuschl via Ebenau to Faistenau
5330 Fuschl am See
The stage BergeSeen 2 for eMTBs starts in the town center of Fuschl. With around 42 km, 1050 m ascent mainly on asphalt and gravel roads, this is an easy warm-up route.
Recommended season:
- April
- May
- June
- July
- August

- October
- Geological highlights
This stage includes neither single trails nor push sections. The short length of the route with 42.4 km is intentional. Because what you can experience here is likely unique.
The following highlights make this route, besides the wonderful nature, an unforgettable experience:
- The morning swim in the Fuschlsee or in the heated lido,
- the baked mice on the Hatzenalm, without the schnapps,
- a short sidestep to the rock bath or to the waterfall of the Plötz,
- and a Strubklamm canyoning route promises pure adrenaline
- and lastly a nightcap beer in the inn from the TV production "4 Women and 1 Death".
The digital info board at the lido is the start for all leisure activities in Fuschl. Here you can also download the track for the stage BergeSeen 2.
A jump in the lake before the route and we start refreshed and full of energy towards the Red Bull headquarters, which is located directly on the Wolfgangsee federal road. On the bike path slightly uphill towards Hof, we turn left after about 200 m (km 1.1) to take the side road towards Perfalleck. The slight incline gets our pulse going because after just a few curves it goes steeply uphill to Perfalleck at 822 m (km 3.4). Here we enjoy the first viewpoint with the peaks of Schober and Frauenkopf, in order to burn off the altitude meters immediately. At the Tiefbrunnau junction (km 3.8) we turn left and after 2.25 km (km 6.1) we turn right onto the forest road. Now our path leads steadily uphill towards Grögernalm, which we leave on our left. After the next right turn there is a junction (km 8.4), where we turn steeply uphill left towards Hatznalm.
The Hatzenalm (km 9.1) lies on the right of the path and is a biker-friendly hut with charging options for your own wellbeing and also for the eMTB.
When descending from Hatzenalm, pay attention to the signage, as two forks in the road appear in a short distance, which would lead us on the wrong paths. After this short break we follow the forest road for about 3.5 km, which more or less stays on the contour line. At the junction (km 12.6) we continue straight. For those who want to go directly to Wolfgangsee, there is the option here to take another variant very steeply uphill over Königsbergalm. In any case, check your battery capacity beforehand.
Now there are a few curves downhill in the direction of Hintersee. At the next but one fork in the road (km 14) it goes uphill again via the bridge onto the Sonnenweg. There are also two more worthwhile alpine pastures here as alternatives, but you would have to turn left and carefully check range planning to reach either Genneralm with charging station or Bergalm.
However, we continue uphill to the next fork (km 15.7), where we continue straight ahead. Gently ascending we glide towards the sun and soon the view over Hintersee to Gaisberg opens, one of Salzburg’s local mountains. After a short ride on the same altitude, it goes downhill again towards our next destination, Hintersee. We reach the lake right by a bike-friendly inn (km 22.5) and have the opportunity for a swim in the lake here.
Now we have to drive 1.4 km on the state road towards Hintersee village and turn right (km 23.9) onto the forest road towards the Ice Chapel. It continues along the west shore of Hintersee, if you have not yet stopped, here is still a rustic stop at the Lago-Bar before continuing towards Faistenau. There are also some forks in a short distance here. It is best to follow the signs BergeSeen S800. After the Lago-Bar it goes for a few meters on the state road to the left, which you can leave again at km 27.8 to the right. A few meters later, use the gravel road, which steeply goes left (km 28.0) upwards and follow it again to Hinterseestraße (km 28.9) for 200 m, then turn left onto the side road to Faistenau center.
In the town center of Faistenau you can either enjoy a cozy cold drink in the inn of "4 Women and 1 Death", Krämewirt, or continue on the village street, following about 500 m until a small paved street steeply turns down left onto Lidaunstraße (km 30.7), which we follow for 2.1 km until shortly (km 32.8) before the snack station Ebnerwirt. Here the surface changes from asphalt to gravel and goes steeply downhill for 700 m towards Vorderschroffenau. We turn left and a paved farm road leads us to Ebenau. In Ebenau we do not cross the stream, but turn left before and ride along the crystal-clear Schwarzbach into the town center with a small museum.
As an alternative, there is again the option here to visit or immerse yourself in the Plötz waterfall. With the eMTB, it’s about 5-7 minutes from the town center.
Otherwise, continue to the Hotel Obermayr, where you can organize canyoning trips into the Strubklamm to really get your adrenaline pumping.
If this is not interesting or there is not enough time, we leave Ebenau town center onto Wiestal state road (km 36.7), follow it for 900 m, to turn left at the lowest point of the route (590 m, km 37.6) onto Strubklammstraße. Now it goes steadily uphill on asphalt, past the Felbertal school through the first rock gate and the tunnel. On the left the rock wall rises steeply upwards, and on the right leads down a gorge. Past the Seewirt with a view of the Almbach, which here in a primeval way finds a different path every week.
Caution is advised on this section. The road is narrow, and there is some more traffic in summer. Therefore, definitely carry a light on your eMTB to be recognized in shaded areas and unlit tunnels in time.
After a few kilometers, we leave Almbachstraße (km 41.8) and turn left uphill to finally reach our destination today, Faistenau (km 43.0).
Tip:A canyoning route through the Strubklamm is an unforgettable experience. Simply plan in advance with Max Obermayr.
Safety guidelines:For a successful, accident-free and exciting day you will find tips here for planning before the route.Equipment:
Please note that any MTB routes must always be completed with flawless equipment.
Here is our recommendation for tour preparation and equipment.
Additional information:As new players on the field of mountain and recreational sports, we e-MTB riders are especially obliged to behave appropriately.
In Graubünden, bikers and hikers share the paths. A project that should set an example. But that only works with mutual respect. Black sheep set us back years.
With common rules of play we ensure that the forest continues to offer a unique recreational and living space as well as workplace for everyone.

1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
