RUSH 300 – A route that challenges and rewards you
The starting shot is fired at 6 a.m. in Saalfelden – the day awakens, the air is cool and the tension is in the air. There’s not much time to wake up, because after just a few kilometers it’s down to business:
The first endurance test
One of the steepest climbs of the day challenges you right at the start. The road winds its way through dense forests, while the morning sun slowly rises over the peaks of the Berchtesgadener Land. The view opens up with every meter of ascent – and suddenly it is in front of you: the majestic Watzmann, a sight that almost makes you forget the burning climb.
Lakes panorama
After the first challenge, it’s time to find your rhythm, let it roll and enjoy. Behind Salzburg, the landscape opens up and a string of pearls of deep blue lakes passes us by. The Obertrumer See, the Wallersee, the Fuschlsee and finally the Wolfgangsee – every bend opens up new, breathtaking views. The profile is undulating, challenging, but leaves room to breathe.
After Lake Hallstatt, things get serious once again. The route winds its way through the Lammertal valley, past steep rock faces and rustic Alpine pastures, while the Tennengebirge mountains form the backdrop to the left and right. Up and down, bend after bend – the muscles burn, the will counts.
The long descent to St. Johann im Pongau gives you the opportunity to loosen up your legs before the last big climb. One last time in the cradle, one last time gritting your teeth. But then it’s done – the last few kilometers via Zell am See back to Saalfelden are flat and fast. Your thoughts wander back over the past few hours: the climbs, the lows, the incredible moments.
And then the time has come: the finish in Saalfelden. 302 km, 3700 vertical meters – and a story you will never forget.
