Bike & Hike
Pyhrn-Priel
Bike & Hike in the Pyhrn-Priel holiday region
... that means a relaxed journey without searching for a parking space and worrying about parking fees. Simply park your bike safely and continue your hike. We'll show you how.
We have put together unique sporting experiences for you under the title "Bike and Hike". You can travel comfortably by train or car to one of the designated car parks. From there, you saddle up your bike and cycle to the starting point of the hike. At the so-called "changing station", a place specially set up for this purpose, you can park, lock and, if necessary, charge your bike. Then the hike begins and you continue on foot. For your physical well-being, we have equipped our Bike & Hike tours with extraordinary culinary temptations, such as refreshment stops at mountain huts.
The advantages:
- Experience a variety of perspectives through different forms of movement
- Start your journey relaxed - without the fear of not finding a legal parking space
- You can enjoy your excursion carefree - and leave the issue of car parking and parking fees behind you
- Less frequented, previously difficult to reach hikes beckon
- Or you can leave the car at home and travel sustainably by train
- Reserve your hire bike in advance from the regional sports retailers

Fair play
Use the changing station
At our changing stations you can store your bike safely and charge the battery (bring your own lock and charger!). From here you can continue on foot. In this way, we maintain the hiking trails and create safety for nature and people.
Respecting each other
Whether by bike or on foot - in our region, we expect people to treat each other, nature and animals with respect. You can also help us to maintain this fragile balance. Please pay attention to the signs.
Please take care of yourself
Be aware of your limits and do not go on tours that are beyond your ability. A good rest stop and breaks are an elementary part of our tours.
Alpine pastures and huts
The alpine pastures in the Pyhrn-Priel region have a tradition that goes back thousands of years and are still run by our farmers and herdsmen and dairymaids in the traditional way.
Alpine pasture management guarantees the diversity of flora and fauna.
You too can enjoy the beautiful landscape while savouring regional Alpine delicacies in one of the mountain huts!
