Sehr oft hört man Altenmarkt und Zauchensee in einem Atemzug. Und genau diese beiden Orte verbindet unsere Gravel-Bike-Tour. Der Wegverlauf ist leicht erklärt: man fährt immer in Grundrichtung Süd-Südost ins Zauchbachtal. Abwechselnd auf Asphalt und Schotter, bis auf ein kurzes Stück nach dem Gasthof Neuhäusl, wo man entlang der Zauchenseestraße fährt, ist man dabei aber immer weg vom Verkehr. Meist schattig im Wald, immer in der Nähe des Zauchbachs fahren wir in gemütlicher Steigung Richtung Zauchensee. Nur die letzten beiden Kehren sind etwas steiler und vom Untergrund her etwas ruppiger, ansonsten sind die knapp 600 Meter Höhenunterschied relativ einfach zu bewältigen. Direkt beim namengebenden, idyllischen See verlässt man den Wald und bekommt den Blick frei auf das wunderbare Bergpanorama von Zauchensee, dem Ziel unserer Tour.
