Description
The beautiful trekking tour to explore the Mariazell region starts at the village square in Mitterbach. After a short warm-up phase, the route climbs up the Schindelsattel after just a few kilometers and then descends rapidly into the Walstern. Coming out of the Walstern, the tour continues towards Halltal in the romantic Mooshuben. A forest road then takes you downhill at a slightly faster pace towards Gußwerk. Directly in the center of Gußwerk, you leave the main road in the direction of Tribein. Here you have to pedal hard once again before taking the fast bends from Köckensattel to Rasing. On a tour through the Mariazell region, Mariazell is of course a must, and so the tour continues from the Rasing directly to the famous place of pilgrimage. The last stage destination is from Mariazell along the road and then the cycle path to the crystal-clear Erlaufsee lake and the last few kilometers back to Mitterbach.
