Waterfalls and Scenic Views on the Postalm Road

Highlight • Waterfall

A wonderful road up to the Postalm. On the way you will pass waterfalls and enjoy a great view - this makes it much easier to climb uphill.

Last day in the Salzkammergut. First up the paved ascent to the Postalm and then over two crisp gravel climbs to get to the optical highlight of the trip. Along the Ackersbach to the Genneralm you will be stunned by the view. In a positive sense. 💘

We snaked our way up to the plateau via the asphalt ascent to the Postalm. But after a short time it goes down again and then goes up to the next piece. Once at the top there is an alpine landscape and cows grazing even on the steepest walls. The next ascent is tough, and you can curse here. When …

Admittedly, this time it was sometimes really hard for me - I don't tolerate the heat that well and was …

The first 45 kilometers were hard to eat, but there were views on the high tines. The second half as usual flowing asphalt kilometers past the lakes. PS: At Hintersee there are also the world's best spinach dumplings in the old shop! 🤤

Originally, I had planned to ride via Genneralm and Postalm to Lake Wolfgangsee. From there, I would continue up over Lake Attersee and Lake Mondsee, and then back via Lake Wolfgangsee and Lake Fuschlsee. Everything was going great until just before Postalm, when I got the almost traditional flat tire. This time, however, the pump wouldn't release the valve. After …
