Hohe Tauern Bike Trail | ST11 Neukirchen | Untersulzbach Valley | Neukirchen

The Untersulzbach Valley is certainly the shortest of all national park valleys that you can discover on the Hohe Tauern Bike Trail – but also the most pristine. As part of the “Wilderness Area Sulzbachtäler,” it is subject to special protection, and not without reason: here you experience the alpine landscape in its pure, almost untouched form. Only the Stockeralm & Finkalm are – very sustainable – islands of human management and welcome places to stop. If you are cycling here, you are not traveling through a backdrop but through a landscape that pays little heed to visitors – and for that reason leaves a lasting impression. The silence and solitude, its topographical narrowness, and its magnificent valley end: all these factors make the Untersulzbach Valley so special.

The route leads from Neukirchen along the rushing stream through green forests, past the impressive Untersulzbach waterfall, over alpine pastures into the Untersulzbach Valley. 

After this stage, you will overnight once more in Neukirchen. Since this stage is by far the shortest on the Hohe Tauern Bike Trail, you have several options to extend your daily program: either use this day as an “active rest day” and relax at your hotel, or venture deeper into the core zone of the Hohe Tauern National Park and hike from the turnaround point at the Stockeralm to the unmanaged Aschamalm, where the marked hiking trail ends and nature in the Untersulzbach Valley is finally left to itself. As a third option, you can take on one of the other mountain bike routes after returning to Neukirchen.

–> The stage runs exclusively on forest roads, alpine trails, and paved cycle paths/side roads. Details on the requirements of the Hohe Tauern Bike Trail can be found here >>.
