Détails de l'itinéraire

Superb climbing route featuring hills to the east of Salzburg. The climb out of Elsbethen and the Oberwinkl climb are steep, but well worth it. Meadow views and a look up to the Gaisberg or back to the Alps are fantastic. The Oberwinkl climb is south exposed, smooth, and just plain beautiful - a great route for shoulder season.

The descent from Zistelalm (top of the Oberwinkl climb) is smooth, shaded, and not super steep. The Heuberg is a shaded and a very cool small road. That descent is steep, so take care and bring disc brakes.  The climb to Eugendorf is gentle and consistent, followed by lovely rolling meadows with some small elevation gain/loss. The last descent into Anthering is steep - stay in control!

There are plenty of options to shorten or extend this route, including the "punch you in the mouth" option of riding to the Gaisberg instead of turning around at Zistelalm - lots of 10+% grades there will definitely test the legs. The views at the top are ridiculous, though, so it is worth the effort!

**My favorite riding sections on this route:**
1) @slice[Oberwinkl Climb](d,9565.79,14684.03): scenic meander with views of farmhouses, meadows, and the backside of the Gaisberg
2) @slice[Heuberg Climb](d,22985.67,25424.55): narrow, quiet road with little traffic 
3) @slice[Anthering Descent](d,45908.94,47311.31): superb panaramic views of the valley below, foothills in the distance ahead and the Alps looming in the distance to the left.
