MTB Erzbergblick LN 12

Closed
The challenging mountain bike tour Erzbergblick - Ramsau LN 12 is located in Eisenerz at ERZBERG LEOBEN.
Tour for the sporty biker over the eastern flank of the Kaiserschild, Tull and Hohenegg in the Eisenerz Ramsau and to the Radmerhals. In addition to intense climbs and natural passages with trails and short stretches, you will be rewarded by magnificent views of the town of Eisenerz, the Erzberg and the surrounding mountains. The route offers the possibility of individual alternative planning at two positions (km 8.5 and km 13.5). The way back leads along the asphalted municipal road past refreshment stops in a rapid ride to the city center of Eisenerz and back to the starting point.

The extended variant of the Seeblick-2-Graveltour leads from the Leopoldsteinersee past the boat rental into the Seeau, then via the Blaue Herrgott and the Obere Prossen to LKH Eisenerz.

From here the trail leads uphill through the old town of Eisenerz to the Eisenerzer Ramsau. Passing picturesque alpine huts, the trail continues along the alpine floor up to the Radmerer Hals, where you turn around again and take the same route back.

Impressive mountain panorama of the Eisenerzer Kaiserschild.

The starting point of this highly attractive and challenging tour is at the parking lot of the Eisenerz sports hall, where you first ride along the cycle path along the Eisenbundesstraße and after about 200 m turn left into the Münichtal. After passing through the "Alpinresort Eisenerz", turn right in the direction of Großfölz, where, after crossing the housing estate, the climb begins along a natural gravel path.

Following the signs, the route leads to the left over a bridge and after 200 m to the right begins a steep, earthy hollow way, which leads after 300 m into a forest road. Follow the forest road for 200 m until you reach the apex at 1000 m, where a danger sign asks you to dismount and push your bike down the mountain. Now you reach the viewpoint of the Erzberg (note: weekdays 11.00 h you can experience the blasting 1st row foot-free).

The following descent leads past the outlet of the former Mattenschanze and ends at the small caliber shooting range. 200 m after that there is a possibility to return to the starting point on the left via the alternative route of the LN13. The further route leads in a steady ascent to the Hohenegg, from where you first reach a beech forest including a carrying point over a creek bed and then descend following the forest road to the state road. Here you have the choice of taking the asphalt road to the right or following the original route to the left and shortly after to the right along a natural gravel path into the Eisenerzer Ramsau. Attention: This section also contains a 50 m carrying passage!

Via the provincial road you now reach the Gemeindealm and via a well-maintained forest road after 250 meters in altitude you reach the Radmerhals at about 1300 meters. At the top of the pass you will find an idyllic resting place with a bench and a shrine, before the descent into the Eisenerzer Ramsau begins with a magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.

Caution is advised when passing through several cattle gates and on asphalt it goes over the facilities of the Nordic Training Center and the Franzosenbichl back to Eisenerz and on narrow paths through the picturesque old town. Along the cycle path on the Eisenbundesstraße the tour now leads back to the starting point.

The route runs off the main roads, 4% on bike paths, 10% off-road, 53% forest roads and 33% on secondary roads. The condition of these roads and paths are divided into 37% asphalt, 53% gravel, 5% nature trail and 5% carrying passages.

Culture tip: inrun track Mattenschanze Tull, layer tower, view to Erzberg (11.00 h blasting), training center with ski jumps, Eisenerz city center.
