Even by Austrian standards, what they've done here is completely senseless. The fact that they even dare to market something like this to tourists demonstrates how clearly there is no biking expertise in this tourist region. Fortunately, there's apparently a little money available to at least do "something" so they can pat themselves on the back at dinner with other tourism professionals. Well done!

Beautiful view of Wagrain down in the valley. You can focus your view using the wooden tubes that are attached here. You also have a great mountain panorama from here.
