...a beautiful hike, partly without a path, to the summit via the mast of the cable car - from the bike depot at the Bundeswehr parking lot at the end of the Almstraße to the Lacheralmen. https://www.komoot.com/de-DE/highlight/5965536?ref=ihd ...

You will inevitably pass the tunnel when climbing to the summit (if you do not take the panoramic path)

The trail section from Arzmoos down to Aipl is only recommended downhill and here too I pushed the bike down for the first 5 minutes.
