The road to Planneralm is from that point for about 6.8 kilometers long with 580 Altimeter. Along the road are only a few trees. The prospect, for example on the Hochstein, Karlspitz and Schoberspitz are wonderful. But on hot days it is missing one or another long, shaded section. Who is not in a hurry, can take a break in the Schrabach-Hut to recommend, which lies about 3 kilometers from the Planneralm. In the shade, you should allow yourself a cool drink before approaching the last few kilometers to the Planneralm.

After the highest point on the Planneralm you bike the same road back down to the hairpin at one you have achieved the Planneralm-road from Schaablehen. Unlike the Planneralm MTB - Tour you not go back through the Schaablehen but on the tarmac Planneralm-road further Donnersbach 710m. About a kilometer before Donnersbach lend themselves to a visit to the church ruins - Ägydikirche. From the Ilgenberg one also has a magnificent view over Donnersbach and to the Ennstal and the mountain Grimming.
