The bike or mountain bike tour Grimming im Ennstal / Styria is 48 kilometers long and moderate. Racing driver must, however, expect that they must push their bike along the "Salzastausee" a few hundred meters. Medium is the Grimming bike tour not overcome because of the altitude, the whole are, but because of the slopes in the "Alten Klachau". The bike tour around the Grimming begins in Trautenfels (Enns valley) and leading over the R19 (Salzkammergut Cycle path) to Bad Mitterndorf (Salzkammergut - Ausseerland). As compared to the R7 Ennstalradweg, the R19 is better developed and usually far away from the main road.
The road along the Salzastausee is closed to traffic. Therefore, the road is not maintained and therefore because of the many stones on the road, I strongly recommend this bike tour just for mountain bikers. Racing driver must, as already mentioned pushing her bike a little.
Once in Ennstal I wanted to go from Krottendorf Espang. But the bike path ends in Diemlern directly in front of an inn. Due to the heavy traffic on the main road through the Enns valley with many trucks I have returned and taken over by Öblarn back to Trautenfels. All who want not take a breaks by the inn , drive best over the hill "Mitterberg" to Öblarn (see the thin purple line in the Google Map). Approximately 100 additional meters of altitude is to be expected. |

The Grimming is a 2351m high mountain in Upper Styria between the Enns Valley and the Salzkammergut Ausseerland. Because of its imposing appearance, the highest freestanding mountain in Europe has long been regarded as the highest mountain in Styria. From the summit of the Ennstal Grimming rises steeply around 1700m. Geologically, the Grimming belongs to the Dachstein massif and consists of Dachstein limestone. The most popular routes on the Grimming are from Trautenfels or Niederstuttern the South-variant on the Grimming hut. From Kulm in Tauplitz / Bad Mitterndorf behind the ski flying facility starts the northern route. And from Trautenfels you can also go first to Multereck and eastern pre-peak 2176m and then to the Grimming on the eastern route. The Grimming is not an easy mountain to hike. It is more for climbing. Depending on your condition should be scheduled for a mountain tour of the Grimming about 5-8 hours, you should be dizzy and very slippery. Beginners should take at best, an experienced mountain guide and set up a helmet because of the danger of falling rocks. On all the mountain climbing tours are technically difficult passages. The Grimming hut is the only farmed hut on Grimming and is located in the south of the summit on the Enns valley side at an altitude of 996m. Continuous opening times from June to September and on Saturday, Sunday from May to October. With children the easy hike from Trautenfels to the Grimming hut is creating in the specified time of 1h15min. The Grimming hut can also be used as quarters for the night before and after an ascent of Grimming. The Grimmingtor on the southern side in Enns valley is worth seeing specificity. The Grimmingtor is about 50 meters high and 15m wide wall cavity which is closed above from a ledge. According to a legend, hidden behind the Grimmingtor untold treasures. On Corpus Christi will be a legend to open the gate and give the treasure hunters intake. A small or dwarf male leads here through the interior of Grimming. Who will not return before the lunch bell and leaves the Grimming will be trapped for a year. |
| The Ennsvalley is in the middle of Austria and was named after the largest river in the valley. The Enns is a 254 kilometers long tributary of the Danube. It rises in the province of Salzburg in the Radstätter Tauern. From Salzburg the Enns flows eastwards through Styria. Between Admont and Hieflau in Upper Styria, the Enns breaks through a narrow valley - the Gesäuse in the Ennstal Alps before it flows north to Upper Austria. In the last section is the Enns, the boundary between Upper and Lower Austria. Between the villages of Mauthausen and Enns empties the Enns, as 100m wide river, into the Danube.
The Ennsvalley is one of the major valleys in Austria, and forms the geological boundary between the Northern Limestone Alps and the Central Alps south of the river Enns. The mountains of the northern Limestone Alps are often very steep and less forested than the south of the Central gentler mountains are more accessible for hikers. Where the mountains from east to west are becoming increasingly burdensome. The upper Ennsvalley at the border between the Austrian provinces of Salzburg and Styria, the Enns river flows south past the Dachstein glacier. The Dachstein 2.995m is the highest mountain in Styria. The people in the Ennsvalley live mainly from tourism and agriculture. The largest alpine winter sports region can be found around Schladming, Dachstein-Tauern-region. Who the mass tourism is not so wish, you can resort to the small ski areas further east, such as in Gröbming (Stoderzinken) Donnersbach (Planneralm Riesneralm) and Admont (Kaiserau). Beautiful country skiing areas are available in Ramsau am Dachstein, Tauplitzalm, Liezen / Pyhrn Admont / Kaiserau.
