From the service center Maria Alm you drive in the direction of the church and then via Urchen to the Hochkönig federal road. From there, turn left up to the
tom Almhütte and continue past the Grammlergut snack station to Hintermoos. Here you drive a little along the federal road in the direction of Hinterthal. After approx. 2.5 km you cross the Urslau river and drive parallel to the Urslau until you reach the Hochmaisbahn. Then you continue into the village of Hinterthal until you reach the church. Shortly before the church, keep right and drive towards Aierbauer. Continue to the Aueralm (E-bike gas station). Cross the alpine pasture area and continue uphill to Filzensattel and downhill to the crossroads of Dorf Dienten. At the crossroads follow the road to the left in the direction of Mühlbach/Bischofshofen. After about 0.5 km uphill turn right onto the forest road "Altenberg". Follow this forest road for about 3 km until you reach a bend where you turn left towards Zachhofalm (no resfreshments available) (E-Bike gas station). From the Zachhofalm it goes a little steeper uphill to the Wastlhöhe (highest point of the tour). Turn left there and follow the narrow path slightly downhill to Sunnhüttl. From the Sunnhüttl it goes on via the Tiergartenalm (refreshment stop) steeply downhill to the Dientalm (refreshment stop). At the Mittereggalm (refreshment stop) turn right onto the Hochkönig Bundesstrasse, which you follow for about 3 km to the Elmaugut adventure farm. After the Elmaugut turn left into Viererwasch and follow the mountain bike signs to the Schrammbach, here upriver to the power station. Follow the path on the other side of the brook about 350 m uphill, then turn left uphill. After about 800 m you will reach an asphalt road via wooden steps. Turn right here and pass the Hochkönig sports hall until you reach Mandlwandstrasse. Follow this road for about 300 m in the direction of the Arthurhaus, then turn right under the Sonneck into the Forstweg. Now it is the next 10 km to Bischofshofen.
