01 How to Get There
See map at the bottom of the page
Coming via Salzburg, we recommend using the national roads through the Salzkammergut. The distance is shorter, the landscape better, and the federal road is really nice.
Salzburg - B158 - Bad Ischl - B145 - Pötschenhöhe (993 m) - Stainach - Liezen - Rottenmann - national road B113 oder Autobahn A9 to Trieben.
Target address for navigation is the roundabout where the road to Hohentauern starts:
8784 Trieben, Triebener Bundesstraße 5 (A)
Continue along the B114 to Hohentauern.
Target address for navigation:
8785 Hohentauern, Hohentauern 10 (B) (Grocery store and ATM nearby)
Attention: since 2020 there is a new access road from Hohentauern. The old road is closed!
Turnoff point to Edelraute (C) is 400m in direction Judenburg (follow the green sign)
Continue 400m in direction to Judenburg to reach the signposted turnoff to Edelrautehütte
Target address for navigation: N 47.432554, E 14.475689 (Google maps) (Route to there )
The new access road may not yet be available in GoogleMaps, OSM or Garmin. Because it is new.
There is a snow chain sign, but by law this applies to cars only, not to motorcyckes or sidecars.
However, if you are on a solo bike and there is snow on the road, this is a good spot to mount them!
Follow the signs to "Edelraute" downhill to the start of the toll road.
You pass a little lake with a restaurant and a wooden bridge (D), and then the toll road starts.
Naviadresse: N 47.435354, E 14.460103 (Google maps) (Route to there )
We currently do not know if and how the toll barrier will work and how much the toll will be.
Probably there will be card payment only.
After about 5 km you reach the car park where we camp, and after another 800 m or so you are at Edelraute Inn. Riding up there is allowed for TT participants!
We may have a traffic light installed if there is much snow, so we have to make a one-way system if the road is too narrow. Not every navigation system knows the Edelraute address:
8785 Hohentauern, Hohentauern 65
or
8785 Hohentauern, Edelrautestraße 5 (E).

Autobahnvignette
Autobahn Toll Sticker
Using Austrian motorways is not free of charge. The so called "Autobahn" and some other high-ranking roads may only be used with a valid toll sticker, which can be obtained at the border (recommended) or big petrol stations. You need a "10-Tages-Vignette für Motorräder", which is valid for 10 days.
In winter time it is sometimes hard to get the stickers for motorcycles AND 10 days - check big petrol stations on main roads.
It is worth it, if only for not getting lost in Salzburg city!
For sidecar cycles, you only need to have a normal motorcycle sticker !!!
You can find additional info about tolls on the ASFiNAG web pages.
Other Traffic Rules:
- Motorbikes with and without sidecars have to carry a first-aid pack.
- For sidecars, you need to have an emergency breakdown triangle.
- Driver needs to have a safety vest on board (can be bought at bigger petrol stations etc).
- Kids in sidecars are only allowed from a minimum age of 12 years. If they are younger, the sidecar has to be equipped with a child car seat and a roll-over bar.
- You have to wear a crash helmet on every seat of the bike or sidecar

04 Organization and Emergencies
Andreas +43 664 6377148 and dreiradler@gmx.net
(at the meeting the signal is usually weak. So it is best to contact me via SMS or Whatsapp).
That is, if you have a breakdown getting up to the meeting.
If you have technical problems during your journey in Austria, phone +43 120 to contact the Automotive Associations (ÖAMTC, ARBÖ). Usually the membership card of your national AA will be accepted for first technical aid.
If you can not ride up the toll road due to bad winter equipment, please hire a local taxi:
- Taxi Kandler, Tauernstraße 8, +43 664 3122333
- Edelraute Inn (call in emergencies):
+43 3618 21014
We (Uwe and Andreas) will arrive on Thursday, and depart on Sunday in the early afternoon.
Our TT tent is about in the middle of the camp site.

05 Riding up to the TT
Under normal conditions, you can not ride there without special winter equipment.
Having winter tires on your combinations, you may try without snow chains.
Solo motorcycles hardly manage without snow chains. Usually DIY solutions only hold up for a few 100m before they slip around on the tire or fall off or do some damage to the bike.
Ice screws are an attractive alternative for those who have knobbly tires and a battery-powered screwdriver. And enough clearence inside their fenders.
Siehe Schneeketten, Eisschrauben, Spikes.
The road surface is snow, and some ice, because it is used for sledging by the locals. No salt, no gravel.
Good sites for putting your chains on:
- Car park in Hohentauern (B)
47°25'57.2"N 14°28'32.5"E =
47.432554, 14.475689 (Google maps) (Route dorthin)
- Turnoff from national road to Edelraute (C). It will be downhill to the lake from there.
- Car park at wooden bridge at the lake, before the toll road (D). From there it will be all uphill, getting more difficult when you go further up.
Please do NOT put your chains on while on the toll road - it is narrow and steep, and there will be situations with other riders wanting to pass you.
You may enquire about general road conditions for your travels at the Austrian Automotive Organization ÖAMTC.
The Webcams Skilift Hohentauern show a skiing slope at 1300 m above sea level
(which is still 400 meters below the meeting ...).
If you need to buy snow chains, Hubert Staudachers Schneeketten-Erzeugung is only 50 km away. This small family-run enterprise produces custom-made snow chains for all kinds of vehicles. They are situated near Judenburg.

06 Check-in On Site
You have a reservation?
Before you spend the night, be sure to check in with Edelraute at the bar.
In any case BEFORE you go to your room or dormitory or pitch your tent.
We MUST know that you are there!
If you haven't donated anything in advance, you can still do so directly at the meeting. We will have a box and envelopes on site so that we can allocate the donation. Please write your name on them.
Your donation covers our expenses.
Your donation also shows us that you were officially at the meeting, and you will automatically be contacted again for next time.

08 Campsite
|
|
TIME
We may camp from Thursday to Sunday only.
If you want to stay outside the TT times, please contact the Edelraute Inn, as the campsite will be a parking lot then.
You may want to stay for cheap in the workshop dormitory.
TENT
Bring a solid mountaineering tent, which can take some serious storm and snow drift as well. Do not bring glass fibre tent poles, use aluminium instead.
The ground will be something between "gravel, frozen" and "solid ice". To get your tent set up, go for an electric drill and some good screws, or massive steel pegs and a big hammer.
PLEASE mark your pegs/screws with colored rope or tape to find them ALL later (otherwise the snow plow will get damaged).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NO AUXILIARY VEHICLES
Do not bring your gear like huge tents, firewood, straw, stoves etc up to the camp site with an extra car.
Just bring what you can transport with your motorcycle, that has to be enough really.
SPACE
We all have to fit there!
- No long guy ropes
- If you need to have your vehicle by the tent, park it close to the tent.
If not, park away from the tent area.
- Do not block/reserve tent space
KEEP THE TURNING AREA CLEAR
Keep the space at the lower end of the parking area clear
AT ALL TIMES for turning vehicles like the snow plough or an ambulance!
TENT USAGE
Who builds his tent or parks his vehicle at the campsite, has to sleep there. Uninhabitated tents may caus a search and limit the space for the others.
So please: Who moves to the Edelraute, do INFORM US, PUT DOWN YOUR TENT AND PARK YOUR VEHICLE AT THE INN.
Don't worry, we'll be glad to help.
SLEEPING BAG AND MATRESS
One year (2005) we had minus 24 degrees Celsius. If you do not have special winter stuff, double equipment (two mattresses and two sleeping bags) helps you too keep warm. Ususally it is around freezing point during the day, and -10 or -15 °C during the night.
NO BONFIRES
Open big camp fires are NOT ALLOWED on the camp site. If you need that desparately, rather visit the Elefantentreffen.
You can warm up and dry your stuff at the Edelraute inn, you do not need to make a big fire for that.
Any petrol cooking stove is all right (while normal gas stoves may fail in cold temperatures - you need an Alpine one), and also wood powered stoves or barbecues are OK, as long as you leave no trace and the sparks don't damage tents.
STOVES, BBQs, LANTERNS, HEATERS INSIDE TENTS
Since we very nearly lost three guys in 2018 due to carbon monoxide poisoning, we are quite alert about this!
Only utilize stoves or heaters with their own chimney safely directing gases outside the tent. Make absolutely sure you have ventilation openings which can not be tightened by snow, and KILL THE FIRE COMPLETELY BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP.
Use your tent stove as documented, which means usually only by burning firewood - not coal. Even a cold stove may still emit carbon monoxide (see link below).
We advise you to tell your tent neighbours to look after you every once in a while when you run a stove. It may be a good investment to get and use a portable carbon monoxide alarm.
Do not use barbeques, fire bowls, lanterns in tents without a chimney. This is also true for catalytic petroleum or gas stoves. You can dry your clothes at the Edelraute Inn anytime. If you need to warm up desperately, do so in the Edelraute inn and ask for a warm emergency bed to sleep safely.
Carbon monoxide poisoning can severly damage your health and can kill you in no time.
http://www.bbc.com/news/health-33976414 - http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/blog/dangers-carbon-monoxide-camping/
Also consider that a too small (low) tent may be covered with snow during the night which can cause suffocation!
You can buy Firewood at the Edelraute inn
IMPORTANT
- Don't bring glass-bottles - frozen shards are a pain!
- Don't collect wood in the forest.
Firewood is available at the Edelraute Inn, or bring it with you from the valley - many shops sell it.
- Always leave the site STORMPROOF!
- No unnecessary noise between midnight and 08:00 pm except patrol rides.
- Do not bring fan powered heaters or generators. While your tent is cosy, your neighbour has to cope with exhaust fumes and noise.
- Leave your music at home or use a headset. Taste in music does vary widely
- No fireworks (alpine alarm signal)
- Do not dig snow-holes!
(too dangerous to collapse)
- Do not ride on any side roads - just stay on the toll road. ALL side roads are prohibited for motorized traffic, and we do not want to get in trouble with the forest officials.
- Keep the road clear! Whatever you do, just keep the road clear. PLEASE.
- Take your garbage with you and leave it at petrol stations or shops where you buy your stuff.
Or you buy a big garbage bag including disposal for 5 Euro at the Edelraute, which can be left at the camp site.
- Please take the rest of your food and drinks with you. We are on motorbikes as you are and can not use your provisions or take them home.
We only collect leftover firewood and put it to good use next year.
- Please keep the snow white.
Use already existing niches for peeing and disposing of soup or drinks which we can cover up after the rally.
A mobile toilet is near the big tree at the camp site (see plan)
THANK YOU! |

09 Miscellanious
Souvenirs: Patches, Stickers, Post Cards
You may buy Souvenirs at the bar, and also drop your post cards there.
Valuables
Please take care of your valuables and leave no camera, phone or money in your tent or in the dorm.
We did not have any stealing issues yet and want to keep it like that.
Mark Your Items
We occasionally found that somebody took our Jacket or Helmet and left us his, just because we had very similar gear. So somebody takes your jacket with him to his room when going to sleep, and you are left with his (too small) jacket for the rest of your camping evening? It is better to mark your stuff, especially on common things like Kamik boots, A4 riding gear, heated helmets, gloves. With your name on that and telling the bar personnel this could be sorted out easily.
Friday Ride-Out
At noon we usually like to lunch at the Berger-Huabn (which is a genuine alpine pub).
If you want to go there as a group we suggest to meet at 12 noon on the parking lot of the ski lift near (B) but it is no guided tour, as it is easy to find:
Berger-Hube
Address: 8784 Triebental, Triebental 29
Go back whenever you like, there is no collective return ride.
