Worth seeing mountain bike tour through Krakau to the idyllic Etrachsee.

This is a slightly longer route. In this regard, a certain level of fitness and endurance is required.

A piece of paradise stretches out at 1,374 meters above sea level: the Etrachsee lies idyllically between the innermost Alpine areas of the Niedere Tauern, the Rupprechtseck and the Bauleiteck. Lush alpine meadows and impressive larches frame the picturesque Etrachsee.
