Description

Route No. 422 starts at the turn-off towards Schiestl's Sunnalm 1800 m, a few metres before the Möslbahn cable car at Schwendberg. The gravel road leads for the most part through the forest. Savour the wonderful panoramic view from former Gasthof Goldbründl, before the trail continues on past Tappenalm 1715 m. At Mittertrettalm 1721 m, the trail leads downhill for a short section, where you can take a welcome breather before it continues along the valley floor after crossing Horbergbach stream and then climbs steeply up again to the Penkenjoch plateau. The last section is only suitable for experienced bikers. There are several places where you can stop for refreshments at Penkenjoch.
