Cycling from Rosenhof, Ebensee to Bad Ischl With the Salzkammergut Trophy (Austria’s largest mountain bike marathon) taking place around early July every year, we decided to get a taste of what lied in store for some of the competitors by tackling a “small” section leaving the Rosenhof B&B in Ebensee, heading to Bad Ischl and towards Altaussee via Rettenbach Alm and Blaa-Alm, two restaurant/inns that are located on high plateaus in […]
