Sieht von außen sehr einladend aus. Müsste man echt mal testen.

The bridge over the Ziller river is interesting in several ways: it is a junction for the Innsbruck-Kufstein and Zillertal cycle paths towards Mayrhofen, it is the border between the districts of Schwaz and Kufstein, and it is part of the Kerschbaumer-Sattel cycle route.

The Zillertal Railway bridge also crosses the river, and the cycle path is a small gem of old railway engineering. Caution cyclists: Heading into the valley, the cycle path makes a 90° turn to the left directly at the end of the bridge, then immediately turns sharply and steeply 180° to continue under the bridge and further into the valley. So brake in time!

I've only explored the first ten kilometers of the cycle path so far. Conclusion: It's always nice and flat, with a pleasant path between fields and meadows, along a ditch, and later along the Ziller River itself. Occasionally, 90-degree turns or intersections with side streets require careful attention and braking maneuvers.

A real challenge. I rode up from the Alpbach side and down here. You don't need so much calves, but you need to be alert and have good brakes!
