- Route description We start our route at the station in St. Sebastian and follow the bike path towards Erlaufsee. Shortly before the lake, we turn right towards Mitterbach am Erlaufsee. Upon arriving in Mitterbach, we turn left at the intersection in the town center onto B20 and follow it to Friedenstein. There we turn left and continue to Josefsberg. From Josefsberg, we take B20 to Wienerbruck, where we now turn right towards Joachimsberg, then left past the outdoor pool to Reith. In Reith, we turn left in the town center towards the station and then ride on forest roads and farm tracks wonderfully through the shaded forest until finally shortly before Puchenstuben we reach the federal road again. In Puchenstuben, we leave the federal road to the right again and reach our endpoint at Laubenbachmühle via a narrow farm track. From there, we can now return to our starting point in St. Sebastian by Mariazellerbahn.
- Getting there A1 to the St. Pölten Süd exit, onto B20/Mariazeller Straße.
- Public transport Travel to and from with the Mariazellerbahn. Conveniently from St. Pölten to the starting point at St. Sebastian station and back from Laubenbachmühle station. You can of course also get on the Mariazellerbahn anytime along the way.
- Editor’s tip Take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Mariazellerbahn operations center.
