Description
The route is often hilly with few rolling sections, a demanding day route. It includes two sections: in the north around Ardagger Abbey, in the south between Euratsfeld and Neuhofen.
Wide views – over to the Mühlviertel and as far as the Ötscher – make this route a "sublime" experience. Along the route, businesses invite you to rest. Additionally, numerous sights are along the way.
Note: The cycling route is signposted in both directions and can also be ridden in the opposite direction.

Route description Mostbaron cycling route
The Mostbaron cycling route starts gently ascending from Ardagger Abbey to Viehdorf, then gently descending to Leutzmannsdorf. After crossing the Ybbs, the route slightly rises again towards Euratsfeld. Before reaching Euratsfeld, the Most tavern Sommereggerhof, the Most tavern Zeilinger, and the country hotel Gafringwirt invite you to stop for refreshment.
From Euratsfeld, the route constantly alternates between uphill and downhill sections to Neuhofen an der Ybbs. From Neufurth to Oed-Öhling, it continues very flat, before it becomes slightly more demanding just after the Mostelleria in Öhling. The highest point of the route is reached directly under the A1 motorway; from here it gently rolls downhill towards the northeast.
Shortly after Zeillern Castle, the route continues – still gently descending – northwards to Stephanshart, where the lowest point of the loop is reached. The last kilometers are slightly hilly heading east back to the starting point in Ardagger Abbey.
