Leogang is one of the oldest mining towns in Salzburger Land. Traces in the Schwarzleotal can be found as far back as the 14th century, where miners worked hard to extract mineral resources such as silver, copper, nickel, lead, cobalt and mercury.
It's not for nothing that Saalfelden Leogang is considered the epicentre of the European downhill scene: the Leogang mountain railways record more than 160,000 bike rides per year. From Friday 12 May, the season at Bikepark Leogang picks up speed again. The big event highlight follows in just under four weeks' time with the Out of Bounds Festival.
The Saalfelden International Jazz Festival's recipe for success is not just contemporary jazz and experimental musicians. One of the annual highlights is also the two particularly good wines from Austrian cellars, which have been carefully selected for ten years now.
Saalfelden Leogang in Salzburger Land, Austria, May 9, 2017 – The Austrian bike-mecca of Saalfelden Leogang will host a stop of the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup for the 7th time. On June 10 and 11, Bikepark Leogang will see downhill greats like Rachel Atherton and Aaron Gwin going all-out on the ‘Speedster’ trail to chase those vital seconds.
Walking, eating, listening and talking during the hike, lunch and discussion round: the activities on the agenda yesterday as part of the kick-off event for the Saalfelden Leogang Tourist Board's new hiking campaign were simple throughout.
The Out of Bounds Festival has established itself as a fixed star among mountain bike events in recent years for good reason, as it combines two major events in one weekend: The legendary "26TRIX" dirt jump contest and the Downhill World Cup.
