Hinterstoder Höss mountainbike tour MTB3

Hinterstoder - Hutterer Böden - Rottal - Schafferteich - Hutterer Seite - Wartegg - Hinterstoder

Start at the large cable car car park at the entrance to Hinterstoder (free of charge). Turn left out of the valley and then right uphill at the toll road (free for mountain bikers). This panoramic road (tarmac) is approx. 10km long and climbs steadily. From the Höss middle station, the route is flat for around 1 km to the Edtbauernalm, turn right at the youth guesthouse and then left along the alpine path below the Edtbauernalm refuge, past the edge of the terrain. Now initially steeply downhill, with a wonderful view, push your bike (push track - follow the signs - only for experienced mountain bikers!), over the old alpine path, partly carved into rock, into the Rottal (1 km). The alpine path continues downhill past the lower Edtbauernalm onto a forest road. This now climbs briefly until a forest road joins it on the right, then descends slightly past the hiking trail junction at Steyrsbergerreith (1,193m, open from the beginning of July to the beginning of September). Continue slightly downhill to a hairpin bend, then steeper straight downhill, then several hairpin bends, another road joins from the right, downhill again flatter, past the Vorderstoder mountain rescue service hut, follow the signs (several junctions) to Schafferteich (swimming opportunity).

Finally you reach the asphalt road (junction Binder and Ferienhof Großgrub). Continue left down the tarmac road to Schaffergut, then straight on to Vorderstoder. Take a sharp left and follow the Stodertal winter hiking trail to Hinterstoder. First descending past an old smithy, then slightly uphill on a gravel road to Eckhartgut, through the farmstead and flat onwards below Hacklgut to the access road to Baumschlagerberg (1.5 km away).

Follow this briefly uphill to the left before turning off to Hutgrabner after Bärengut. Go through the farm, continue downhill via a meadow path, then a gravel road, several hairpin bends through the forest downhill to the junction at the edge of the forest (several houses).

Now left over the Knittelgraben up the paved path, over a ridge to the Luckerbauernbachl. The route continues to the left, becoming steeper and steeper for around 300 metres up to a small estate (Bärensimmerl), now flat again through forest to the Wartegg estate (809 m). Take the Wartegg access road down to the old toll road, and continue downhill then left to the Landhotel Gressenbauer, and on to Hinterstoder to the starting point.
