Wonderful cycle tour in Obertraun, past Koppenwinklsee lake, the valley station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car and back to Obertraun Dachsteinhöhlen station.

Cycle tour for nature lovers

The route takes you from Obertraun Koppenbrüllerhöhle train station, past Koppenwinklsee lake along a forest road to the valley station of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car.

Plan a short detour and visit the Dachstein Giant Ice Cave and/or the Mammut Cave. This excursion will refresh you, especially on hot summer days.
