July 3, 2025,Richt.Johannishütte..Umbalfälle..RW Matrei

We had planned to go to the Johannishütte... halfway through it started to rain, so we turned around and cycled and hiked to the Umbal Falls... no more rain, just cloudy... then we took the Virgental cycle path to Matrei... it was beautiful again

July 26, 2024,Von Matrei über den Radweg bis zu den Umbalfällen

Short stay in East Tyrol for biking, with a base in Matrei. The tour begins with a pleasant 13% gradient over 3.5 kilometers to warm up. Then it's up and down. Of course it gets more uphill towards the valley. The reward is the view of the falls, but also many other highlights, such as other waterfalls and the wild …

July 2, 2024,Von Virgen bis MTB Route-Ende⛔️, Islitzeralm

Nice, relaxed tour with the "highlight" of the suspension bridge in the Isel Gorge.
In Ströden there are enough parking spaces to hike various tours from there, but you should be prepared for the climate in the valleys, it was much cooler there than, for example, in the town of Prägraten.

On the cycle path from Matrei i.O. through the Virgental to the DAV Johannishütte (2121 m) under the Großvenediger (3662 m). Impressive views of the glacier world of the Hohe Tauern.

From Matrei up into the Virgental and back again: great. After Hinterbichl there are still these waterfalls, Umbal Falls, I think you have to walk a few hundred meters ... Back on a partially alternative route. I firmly believe that the cows are happier there: there is an intense smell of alpine meadow, of flowers and hay, simply awesome. Prägraten …

June 22, 2025,Virgental-Johannishütte ☀️🚴

Today, we combined the Virgental 132 cycle path and the Johannishütte 131 mountain bike trail.
The first highlight was the new suspension bridge over the Isel River. The Virgental Valley offers many fascinating views.
But the landscape was most beautiful and impressive from the Gumbachkreuz to the Johannishütte.
On the way back, we enjoyed a giant ice cream at the …
