Description
Over 114 kilometers and 1,370 meters in altitude, this challenging road bike route leads into the charming area of the Gutenstein Alps. Before that, you have to conquer the Morigraben, the connection between the Traisen and Pielach valleys, before continuing to the legendary Ochssattel and the Kalte Kuchl (tip: stop off and enjoy a curd cheese/apple strudel). Picturesque valleys, gentle plateaus and dense forests characterize the route, while charming villages such as Eschenau, Hohenberg and Kleinzell provide variety. Perfect for ambitious cyclists looking for nature and a challenge.
