It leads westwards via Völlerndorf, where it crosses the Pielachtalradweg, and St. Margarethen, where it crosses the Melker Alpenvorland-Radroute, continuing through Hürm, St. Leonhard, Ruprechtshofen, and Bergland to Petzenkirchen, where from Petzenkirchen station it runs parallel to the Erlauftalradweg to Wieselburg.From Wieselburg, you can cycle along the Erlauftalradweg north to the Danube cycle path or south to Lunz am See to the Ybbstalradweg. Alternatively, from Wieselburg, follow the Little Erlauftalradweg to Gaming and then the Erlauftalradweg downstream back to Wieselburg.
