A paradise not only for hikers, but also for cyclists. Particularly worthwhile is a bike tour to the Koppenwinkelsee, a hidden natural jewel near Obertraun, which inspires with its picturesque scenery and the quiet beauty of the adjacent nature reserve.

The Koppenpass connects Upper Austria with Styria. Particularly romantic in this area is the Koppenwinkelsee, starting from Obertraun the destination of this tour. The start of the approximately 8.3-kilometre-long route is directly at the Gasthof Koppenrast in Obertraun next to the Koppenpass road. Past the village of the children's friends, the route continues on a well-developed forest road in the direction of Koppenwinkelsee. The path continues to the romantic Koppenwinkelalm, over the bridges of Hagenbach and Bühlenbach, on hiking trail no. 3 in the direction of the Dachsteinbahn valley station. On the asphalt road to Obertraun it then goes downhill. At the Gasthof Dachsteinwirt we turn right. Then it goes back to the starting point on a well-paved forest path (hiking trail 2) - always along the Traun. The tour with difficulty level 2, through one of the most beautiful corners of Obertraun, is particularly suitable for families with children and seniors.
