Seenrunde
A whole day of fun for young and old! You set off for the village of Moosen on the other side of the road from Westendorf. Here you will cycle up a classic steep mountain road to the very first artificial lake, named after the mountain “Hohe Salve”, that you will encounter. These lakes were built for the snow cannons to cover the slopes in winter. Once you have arrived, continue on the road to the next spray lake, the “Salvensee”. Once there, take the route around the Hohe Salve to the Hexenwasser. This is a cool “amusement park” for children, but it offers much more than swings, slides and roller coasters. All kinds of knowledge about animals, physical phenomena or cultural peculiarities are imparted here in a clever way. Plan enough time for the Hexenwasser and don’t forget your swimming costume, because it’s going to be great here! Once you’ve had enough, take the decent to Brixen and then back to Westendorf along the cycle path.

Kienzling Tour No. 206
The Windautal area has been called ‘jewel of nature’, and this tour will show you why. It crosses a small river, leads past ancient oak trees and through alpine meadows. Once you’re at the top, the view over the valleys is spectacular. Yet, the best part is yet to come: a relaxing (or thrilling, depending on how you use the breaks) descent on an asphalt road past calmly grazing cows back to town.
