Region-typical farms accompany you along the way, reflecting the architectural soul of the region. Their owners care for and nurture the landscape, thereby providing invaluable value to the entire region.After the first ascent, there is a relaxing downhill section to the Puschacherteich before the farm road “Kapelleramt Nord” on the opposite side of the pond demands strong pedaling again. The reward is not long in coming: the view of the Ostrong with its highest peak – the Groß Peilstein at 1061m – and the valley landscapes, which are unique in this form for the Waldviertel.The Yspertaler Höhenstraße cycling loop takes you past small villages, idyllic spots, along the Ysper, through the town center of Altenmarkt and finally back to this starting point – rich in views, insights and Waldviertel impressions.
