Beautiful, long ascent with fantastic views of Loser and Dachstein - and the best thing is that the Loser toll road is closed to cars in summer! - wonderfully quiet to ride!

The route was closed from approximately 2021 to 2023 due to high risk of rockfall – reopened in 2024 (information from the Ischl Tourist Information Center). The downhill path requires caution, as there are large, loose stones and rough, solid ground. A fall into the ditch can have serious consequences.

At the beginning of the descent into the Rettenbachtal or shortly before arriving at the Blaa Alm there is this unobstructed view of the north side of the Loser massif
