The new valley station has been moved directly to the large main parking lot, so the previous walk is eliminated

The Sulzbach flows into the Krems River near Halbarting. This point is located directly on the Krems Valley Cycle Path (R10), which runs from Neuhofen an der Krems to the Traun River and offers numerous scenic stretches. The cycle path offers particularly beautiful views of the estuary. The Sulzbach itself is an approximately 20-kilometer-long right tributary of the Krems River, with its source south of Nussbach at approximately 605 meters above sea level. It flows through the communities of Adlwang, Pfarrkirchen near Bad Hall, and Rohr im Kremstal before flowing into the Krems River near Halbarting. Overall, the confluence of the Sulzbach and the Krems River represents both a scenically attractive spot for cyclists and an ecologically important body of water.

The Schoberstein road leads through the quarry to Mandlmais – but is it marked as a cycling ban here, or is it not (the sign has been covered over)? The alternative is a 180-meter descent to Trattenbach and back up again (but was currently closed due to logging work).
