Cycled up one of the many dead-end side climb roads starting on the long Ultendalklim.
After the turn-off (signpost Schwemmalm) you climb up past some farms via a few hairpin bends so that the Zoggler Stausee sinks below you in the panoramic view.
Once you turn into the pine forest on a narrow road, there is nothing residential. Winding road with occasional hairpin bends follows the mountain stream to eventually cycle past the Steinrast hut (supply -1723 hm).
The forest thins out and opens up so that above in your field of vision the grey dam of the Arzkarsee emerges at the end of the valley with snow-capped peaks behind it.
You fortunately don't have to go all the way up there but there is still tough (+10％) winding climbing with hairpin turns on poor road surface (asphalt gone/pits/stones/water gutters).
In early June 2024, it was also strewn with slush carried by meltwater of mud,branches and needles from the forest,which also made the descent back dangerous.
The asphalt road stop thv Kuppelwieser Alm (supply), then shrouded in fog and clouds, just below the 2000m limit.
Hidden solid irregular climbing challenge with barely any traffic to a desolate mountain landscape!
Een van de vele doodlopende zij klimwegen vertrekkend op de lange Ultendalklim.
Na de afslag (wegwijzer Schwemmalm) klim je voorbij enkele boerderijen via een paar haarspeldbochten omhoog zodat de Zoggler Stausee onder je wegzinkt in het panoramisch zicht.
Eens het dennenwoud ingedraaid op smalle weg is er niks bewoning meer. Kronkelende weg met af en toe haarspeldbochten volgt de bergbeek om uiteindelijk de Steinrast hütte (bevoorrading -1723 hm) voorbij te fietsen.
Het woud dunt uit en trekt open zodat boven in je gezichtsveld de grijze stuwdam van de Arzkarsee opduikt op het einde van het dal met erachter besneeuwde bergtoppen.
Je moet gelukkig niet tot daarboven maar er is toch nog stevig (+10％) kronkelend klimwerk met haarspeldbochten op slecht wegdek (asfalt verdwenen/putten/steentjes/watergoten).
Begin juni 2024 ook nog bezaait met door smeltwater meegevoerde smurrie van modder,takken en naalden uit het woud,wat ook de afdaling terug gevaarlijk maakte.
De asfaltweg stop thv Kuppelwieser Alm (bevoorrading), toen gehuld in mist en wolken, juist onder de 2000 m grens.
Verborgen stevige onregelmatige klimuitdaging met amper verkeer naar een desolaat berglandschap!
