The "Schweigginger Ursprungsrunde" leads through the area of the Martktgemeinde Schweiggers - an approx. 45 kilometer long, moderately difficult cycle route with approx. 400 meters of altitude, which can not only be ridden with normal bicycles, but is also ideally suited for racing bikes.
There are also numerous sights along the route, which are marked by special signs and invite you to visit them.
From the Thaya spring and the nearby grass labyrinth to the Bernhardoase near Walterschlag, the Moata and the millennium tower near Siebenlinden, there are numerous interesting Excursion destinations to discover.
The name of the route comes from the fact that the source of the German Thaya, one of the two headwaters of the Thaya, is located in Schweiggers.
The source of the Thaya has always been a trademark of the market town and an important identifying feature for many of its citizens - which can be seen not least in the municipal slogan "Schweiggers at the source".
