Hamberg

Hamberg (Zillertal)

The Hamberg is a hidden enduro trail gem in the Zillertal and is an absolute treat thanks to its location and altitude.

Description

The route starts in the municipality of Stumm in the Zillertal. From here, you pedal along the asphalt road to the Almluft inn (1212 meters above sea level). Here you already have a magnificent distant view of the Tux and Zillertal Alps and relatively little traffic on the road. From the Almluft inn, the route continues on gravel to an altitude of around 1900 meters above sea level. The forest road ends above the Steinbergaste. From here, the bike is pushed or carried almost to the summit of the Hamberg. Above the tree line, the panorama is very impressive, even more so at the summit. The last few meters to the summit are only covered on foot, as the descent to the summit by bike is not worthwhile. Once you reach the highest point of the tour, the Hamberg, you are treated to an unmistakable, typical Zillertal mountain panorama. Rugged peaks with gentle meadows, combined with a wide valley floor and even a view of Lake Achensee is possible on a clear day.

The downhill runs in the upper section on difficulty levels S2 to S3. Concentration is a must, as the granite slabs can be tricky to ride in places. The route then continues down the 37er trail to Bergrast. From Bergrast, you briefly roll down an asphalt road before returning to the hiking trail above the Mölkerkapelle chapel in the direction of Stumm. This reaches difficulty level S2 and is a real treat. All in all, a full enduro tour which, with around 1600 meters in altitude, demands a lot from even fit bikers. The intermediate sections in the forest are particularly idyllic, reminiscent of the Vinschgau Valley and with a southern flair.

Note: The route is located on Austrian territory and leads over routes that are not approved for mountain bikers. Riding this route on a mountain bike is the responsibility of each individual, in full awareness of the legal situation.
