From Unterlaussa via Wurbauerkogel to Windischgarsten (Mayrwinkl), riding route

Description:
From the Parking lot Unterlaussa at the museum Knappenhaus Unterlaussa it goes along the Hengstpass state road L550 (motorcycle traffic on weekends!) approx. 4.5 kilometers to the Holzgraben junction. As the name "Holzgraben" already suggests, the riding trail leads embedded in mountain forests over a forest road towards the foot of the Wasserklotz; shortly before the Ahornsattel, the forest road merges into an alpine trail. From Ahornsattel, you reach the Dörflmoaralm via an easy pull path. Here you enjoy a wonderful view of the Tote Gebirge with the Großer Priel and the Spitzmauer. From Dörflmoaralm you ride further on a forest road over the Langfirst to Haslersgatter. Here you meet a little-used road which leads down below Kleinerberg to the Erlebnisberg Wurbauerkogel. Over the Salzatal you take the last stretch downhill to Roßleithen (Windischgarsten) to the Villa Sonnwend.

Tip:

• Please do not forget to save the route "offline" before you start (top right), as mobile reception in the forest wilderness of the national park is not always available.

Safety guidelines:

Use of the riding trails is at your own risk. Scenic elements (mountains, valleys, rocks, gorges…) are natural hazards and require reserves in time planning.

 

Riding rules:

- Riding in the national park is permitted from 15.04. to 31.10. – on other riding trails all year round – from two hours after sunrise until one hour before sunset.

- Ride only on marked routes! Riding is a special natural experience. Wild animals do not run away from the rider; they consider the rider a strange kind of animal. However, horses are not always predictable when encountering animals, hikers, and cyclists. Therefore, riding in the national park is only possible on marked riding routes!

- Reliably close all pasture gates.

- Many riding routes are also designated as bike paths. Always expect oncoming cyclists or motor vehicles.

- Some routes are long and the terrain is partly steep. Please do not overestimate yourself and your horse and do not forget to bring enough provisions.

- Please understand that compliance with usage instructions and possession of a valid day or annual plaque will be checked.
