From the Scharnitz Nature Park Info Center follow the forest road into the Gleirschtal and after a few kilometers leave your bike at the junction into the Kristental. From here, continue on to the Kristenalm on foot (bikes are not allowed). Return to the starting point along the same path.

  • Bike route nr. 579: approx. 10 km, 260 hm uphill, 01:15 h, difficulty: medium
