April 12, 2025,Von Hopfgarten über Hinterwindau zur Gamskogelhütte und über Kirchberg zurück🚴‍♂️🏔💪

A leisurely bike ride from Hopfgarten along the Windauer Ache into the beautiful Windautal Valley to the Gamskogelhütte, where shortly afterward, snow on the road blocked our way. The return journey took us via Rettenbach, Westendorf, Kirchberg i.T., and Brixen i.Thale.
