Andreas Kepplinger — Fri, 03 May 2024 00:00:58 +0000

The Salzburg local Max Riese is not only a passionate gravel biker and ultra cyclist, but also a well-versed expert on the Salzkammergut region. As the only one, he took on the 210 km and 7900 m elevation gain Trophy A route with a gravel bike when gravel biking was still only familiar to a few insiders. His training and pleasure tours often take him to the Salzkammergut, allowing him to present you with the most beautiful places along the routes in this World Heritage region. The main focus is on the shared experience of gravel biking and a beautiful community ride in the Salzkammergut, free from performance pressure and athletic achievement.

Pins of Remembrance Ride

Andreas Kepplinger — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 00:02:53 +0000

The meeting point is the Trinkhalle Bad Ischl, where the historical cycle tour starts with historian Kurt Lux along the historical pins. He provided historical advice for the project “Pins of Remembrance – Bad Ischl’s Culture of Remembrance” and is one of the initiators.
The “Culture of Remembrance in Bad Ischl” project is concerned with the fact that there is almost no evidence of a culture of remembrance in the public space in relation to the National Socialist era – although there is plenty of history worth remembering in this regard, with many Jewish residents and guests of the region affected by Nazi persecution, as well as the well-known resistance activities in the Salzkammergut.
No special physical condition is required for the tour. We recommend wearing a cycle helmet and weatherproof clothing to take part in the historical tour. The ride will not take place if it rains.

European Peace Ride

The Peace Ride is not a competition, but instead an encounter and exchange on an international level. The International Peace Ride was the most highly regarded amateur cycling event behind the Iron Curtain. The European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 brings the peace ride back to life as a bicycle culture event.
