Kastner Hütte

The Kastner Hütte is located just above Mittersill on the northern section of the Felbertauernstraße and offers a short but interesting trail descent in Salzburg, especially when passing through.

Description

The mountain bike tour in the district of Felben near Mittersill offers a wonderful mix of urban start and subsequent experience of nature. The route begins in the urban area of Felben, but you soon find yourself on a forest road that climbs gently south towards the Birkkogel. The forest road winds through the wooded northern ridge and reaches its highest point at an altitude of around 1600 meters above sea level.

The actual trail begins near the highest point, at the Kastner Hütte (1560 meters above sea level). This trail is mostly easy and classified as S1. It offers a continuous descent back to Felben. You should be prepared for some challenging sections in the lower part of the route in particular, but these make the descent more interesting.

The tour is an excellent choice in summer in particular, as the northern orientation of the mountain ridge ensures pleasantly cool temperatures.

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.
