Continue through Birnberg Oberdörfl and past the Timmelbauer onto the Strimitzweg. This is followed by a long climb through Rössing, passing the Alte Mühle. Shortly after a parking area, turn right onto the Gabäckerweg, which leads you towards the Silberkarklamm.
Then follow the Rössingweg further. After the Burgstaller holiday settlement, turn left and continue up to the Storn Alm. Just before reaching the hut, you need to leave your bike, as riding further is not allowed. From here, you can optionally hike up to the Kufstein summit (2:30h).
After a break, the descent takes you via Gsengwand, Burgstaller, and Passeck back to Weißenbach. From there, you can either take the paid singletrack (free with the Schladming-Dachstein Card) or return to the Hauser Kaibling valley station via the road.

The right bike: mountain bike or gravel bike with studded tyres, racing bikes are not recommended.
Breakdowns can happen - but rarely at the doorstep of one of the numerous service points: a basic kit of tools and accessories therefore never hurts! Spare inner tube and/or repair kit, universal spanner, air pump, brake and shift cable, as well as a screwdriver can never hurt.
- Plan breaks: Along the route, many huts and inns invite you to stop for a relaxing break and enjoy regional specialties.
- E-mountain bike: With electric support, the tour is also suitable for less experienced bikers. There are several e-bike charging stations along the route. Their locations can be seen on the map and in the elevation profile, making it easy to plan your tour and possible charging stops.
