Signposted mountain bike tour no. 122 The tour from the Soboth reservoir to the Dreieckalm is a short but very worthwhile tour with the motto "from the lake to the alpine pasture".

What could be better than combining a trip to the popular excursion destination, the Sobother reservoir, with a short detour to the nearby Dreieckalm? This tour offers both - the flair of the mountain lake and the alpine idyll near the tree line.

The "Reservoir - Dreieckalm - Tour" is the mountain bike tour of your choice if you want to

want to combine lake atmosphere with alpine idyll
want to cycle along the fjord-like and picturesque Soboth reservoir want to cycle in a scenic alpine region, where until now you were only allowed to hike.
are looking for an easy tour with a worthwhile destination in the form of the Dreickalm hut and want to enjoy a magnificent view of southern Styria from there.
decide on the descent via Tour 121 at the Dreieckalm hut and want to take on a real technical challenge on the trail variant (CAUTION in wet conditions: the roots on the trail then make for a very wild ride). For the less experienced, there is an easy alternative route or the return route via the outward route.
