The Kufsteinerland region is somewhat less well known in the Netherlands and Belgium than, for example, Innsbruck<\/a>, \u00d6tztal and the Worthersee in Carinthia<\/a>. This region in Tyrol<\/a>, Just across the border with South Germany, it offers enough for the beginner and experienced road cyclist. You can ride up hills well, but also enjoy the wonderful views along the Inn river. And with six new \u2018bed&bike\u2019 accommodations now available, your cycling holiday can\u2019t be beat. Cycling in Kufsteinerland is absolutely fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting point <\/em>Kufstein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you travel by night train from the Netherlands to Innsbruck<\/a> If you go, Kufstein is the first station in Austria you\u2019ll come across. This town is the starting point for several great routes, where you can rack up plenty of elevation gain, but you can also cycle stretches that are relatively flat. For the real enthusiasts, there\u2019s a beautiful 149km round that mostly follows the 2018 World Championships course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Championships course<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you think Innsbruck had the World Championships all to itself, you\u2019re wrong. The men\u2019s competition started in Endach, actually a small village\/town near Kufstein. From Kufstein, you first have to drive a bit along a more flat road along the river Inn (which is already flowing here). With a beautiful backdrop, including the peaks of the Pendling and the Hohe Salve, it really does give you an Austrian feel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the city, you can quickly find the quieter roads that lead from the alpine meadows to Schwoich and Bad H\u00e4ring. Then you take the quiet side streets of the Inndal and once you reach Hall in Tirol, you turn around via Rattenberg, Sch\u00f6nau and Langkampfen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you're 1400 meters higher and you've also ridden (part of) the World Championships course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilder Kaiser & more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want some cooling off in the summer? Then you can also take a nice route to the Hintersteiner lake. Note that the route there has a really steep climb of about three kilometers. Note that you won\u2019t get below 10% here. If you start out with the wrong gear, you\u2019ll struggle to get up the hill. So make sure you have a good pair of hiking shoes at home. mountain resistance<\/a> jumps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s really a plus: you have a stunning view of the Wilder Kaiser. You can then take a short round and after a descent via Scheffau, Bocking and finally back to Schwoich, head home. Do you really want to extend it? Then head almost towards Reith near Kitzbuhl (this is really a panoramic route) and when you reach the golf course, turn right. At Brixen im Thale you\u2019ll then head towards the Filzalmsee. That\u2019s also a beautiful, challenging route, where the climb is another 4 kilometers. There are a few stretches of bad road, but at the Filzalmsee you can cool off wonderfully. Another day out. 1800hm, 85km and then up the legs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northern route<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also head north and the German border and get a great ride out of the way. How about a route over the Praschberg\/Niederndorfberg? Five kilometers of climbing with stunning views and a few beautiful hairpin bends. Then, if you go back via the Buchberg and via the Walchsee and St. Johann in Tirol, you\u2019ll have just over 80km of pure cycling pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
