From Altmünster town hall, we cycle up Marktstraße to the railway line. After the subway, we turn right onto Kalvarienberg, cycle past Gasthof Hocheck to the next railway subway. There we cross under the railway line again and cycle straight on past the sports ground of FC Altmünster to Gmunden railway station. At the roundabout there, we keep left, cycle under the railway line again and follow the R2 cycle path to Pinsdorf. In the village, we turn left into Steinbichlstraße and then immediately right again into Moargasse, where the ascent to Gmundner Berg begins. Over a distance of 4.5 km, 300 metres in altitude have to be overcome to the Urz'n mountain inn.

We stay on the road to Pinsdorfberg, which leads us upwards in gentle serpentines until we reach the entrance to the gravel quarry. There we turn sharp right and continue uphill on a gravel track. After passing through a small wooded area, we have a marvellous view of Lake Traunsee and the surrounding mountains with the Traunstein. This is followed by a short descent before we tackle the last section up to the Gmundnerberg. We are now back on a tarmac road and can already see the Urz'n mountain inn up ahead.

The way down leads past the Neurological Therapy Centre and then steeply downhill for 2 km until we reach the crossroads on the right to Reindlmühl and on the left to Altmünster.

Once there, we cross the road in a straight direction and cycle up the Grasberg. After passing the animal shelter, we come to a small wooded area, which we cycle through. Immediately afterwards, we turn left onto the Staudach goods road, which leads us downhill to Altmünster. On this descent from the Grasberg, we are once again offered beautiful views of Lake Traunsee, Altmünster and Gmunden. It is worth stopping frequently to take photos. There are plenty of motifs.

We now cycle as far as the town sign for Altmünster. There we turn left and continue downhill. We cross the railway crossing, then keep left and reach Maria-Theresia-Straße. We turn right and after a few metres come to Wirt z`Minsta on the right-hand side.

Then it's just a stone's throw along Ebenzweier Straße past the Altmünster vocational school directly to the starting point at the market town hall in Altmünster.
