Perfect 24 hours Saalfelden Leogang

E-bikes are a great way to explore the region Saalfelden-Leogang, tasting wonderful regional products and exploring some of the most beautiful places. We start at the biking school elements and borrow 2 e-bikes from Scott. With these easy bikes any mountain is climbed immediately. The school is located in Sport Mitterer directly at the Asitz valley station. So, if you want to, you can get dressed up with one or the other accessory on site. From there, we first go to the Hotel Salzburger Hof, to strengthen us with a coffee and a small breakfast for the tour and especially to discuss the route. Over a beautiful path decorated with autumn foliage we pass by Hotel Krallerhof and arrive at our first stop: the village shop in Leogang. Here you can buy local delicacies, talk about the last gossip of the village, drink a coffee, buy a small souvenir and eat homemade cheese dumplings. The path continues and we see beautiful old farms with magnificent flower boxes, curious horses and cute baby calves. Our next stop leads us to a true Local Soulmate: Erni Tribuser. Mother of 4 adult sons and passionate schnapps distiller since 1996. Homemade liqueurs, juices and jams are also available. The raw materials come to a considerable extent from the own orchard. With a bottle of apricot brandy (thanks Erni!), a nice conversation about God and the world, a tour in the garden and welcoming the 3 funny alpacas of Erni, we are on our way again. Next stop: the Zieferhof in Otting. In the own village store “Gerstbodner Troadladl” one can buy the high-quality dairy products of Mei Muich, which are also offered in some of the local hotels like the Forsthofgut, Puradies or Biohotel Rupertus. After a delicious raspberry yogurt, go on to the Stechaubauer. In the self-collection station, anyone can buy 24/7 organic vegetables. Such a cool idea! The beautiful, picturesque fields with the Leogang stone mountains in the background only arouse the desire to taste all the products that grow here. The next farm shop on our joyful tour is a real gem: HPH anno 1905 in the former, lovingly redesigned horse stable. Organic butter, cream cheese in oil, cottage cheese spread, eggs of organic chicken, bread, oil, pasta, liqueurs, … here anyone will find something. And also a must-do on our tour: honey from the beekeeping Höttl in Saalfelden. Especially to be recommended the honey vinegar and the cream honey with roasted almonds. Through a small forest path it goes to the Gasthof Hubertus where there is very delicious food and beer from the own brewery. After the morning was rather cloudy and cool, the sky suddenly breaks open and rewards us with sunshine and blue sky. Wow! That only exists in the mountains. The perfect moment to go up to the Ritzensee and enjoy the view on the Steinerne Meer and the Leogang stone mountains. Once at the top, we return to the beautiful Klampfererhof and enjoy a local specialty: Pinzgauer Bladl! Stuffed leafy donut with sauerkraut. Good that we have already driven so far today. Then take a few pictures of the garden with a view over the Ritzensee, breathe in the cool autumn air and be happy to be alive and enjoy the beauty and hospitality of the world in such a wonderful place. The schnapps distillery Siefgfried Herzog distillates I still recommend for a small gift or delicious cheese. On the way back from Saalfelden in the direction of Leogang, at the end of the round you should definitely take a break in the Sinnlehen Alm for a delicious snack. From there you have a great view and can review the tour. We also drive into the town of Leogang again and look past the listed traditional Kirchenwirt. The oldest restaurant in the province of Salzburg, first documented in 1326. If you are still looking for a room, you can spend here the night in tastefully restored rooms. We conclude our tour with a small ride through the bike park, hugging each other at the end and then we are completely filled with so many impressions of beautiful nature painted in autumnal colors. I love to share the best parts of my homeland with others. Enjoy “my” Saalfelden-Leogang guide and if you like to, visit me in the bike school. Ride on, your Sabine.
