Not the only waterfall you can see on the way down to Hallstatt. It splashes and splashes again and again, sometimes inconspicuously, but sometimes really spectacular. This is one of the more impressive representatives - it's worth a break!

Between km 9.5 and 10.2 I once again forgot to switch on the Garmin after a photo break. I don't know why the Malerweg to Hallstatt is so zigzagging, even though I was riding normally on the road. (The tourist slalom came before that).

I've done this tour for the fourth time, the planned stop at the Ebenalm wasn't possible, the hut is unfortunately closed. We therefore had to tackle the big mountain classification with a pretty empty stomach, but we did have a hearty bread and butter at the Grubalm 😋
The descent to Hallstatt is a stress test for the brakes, the …

My first bike tour in the Salzkammergut and then such a treat: the beautiful (not entirely deserted) Gosau Lakes, the quite lonely pass crossing, the long descent with some beautiful views of the lake and the roaring torrent next to it, the touristy Hallstatt Lake.

A stop at the Rossalm is a must. Friendly landlady, beautifully maintained hut and a sea of flowers in front of the hut!

Did an eMTB lap with Patrick today via the country road down to Hallstatt and then screwed up in the direction of Plassen (1953m, see picture), past the Rossalm and a detour to a grindstone quarry. Very nice 👍
