Beautiful path through the forest

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

On this section you roll through the dense forest on smooth asphalt. Especially in summer you can enjoy the cool shade of the huge trees here. The quiet babbling of wild streams provides an additional refreshing factor.

Steyrtal Cycle Path Bridge (R8)

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Fast it finally goes on the Steyr (Klauser reservoir is characterized). The old railway bridge was fed to a meaningful reuse. A real highlight!

Klaus Dam

Highlight • Structure

The current run-of-river power station was built between 1973 and 1975 as the first stage of a planned "Molln pumped storage group". This would have included a large reservoir in the Krummen Steyrling valley. The first plans date from the interwar period and were further developed up until the 1960s. However, the entire project ultimately failed due to protests from the population. Work on the reservoir began in April 1973, and the bottom outlet and headrace tunnels were opened in the same year. The Steyr River was diverted through these two tunnels the following year. The dam was built from mid-February 1974 to April 20, 1975, and damming began on April 24 and was completed on June 27.

From the bridge on the Steyrtal cycle path you have a wonderful view of the confluence of the Teichl and the Steyr.
