Tips from the Community

September 20, 2026, Wald-Trail zur Kulmspitz

From the turn-off of the access road to the viewing tower, the forest road climbs steeply and the viewing tower is circled in a spiral. The photos with the tower then show the last, really steep climb up to the top at the end. Downwards, there is some view towards the Attersee between the trees.

I don't like mountain bike routes on such roads at all - but yes, there is a view from the roadside of Mondsee - town & lake. At the parking bays, the view is obstructed by trees and bushes.

At the parking lot, the view is very restricted by trees & bushes - only further down from the road is the view clear again

Although the view of the lake may be limited by fog in autumn, the vibrant colors of the forest slopes are a delight.
