Description

The Weiz Almenland Cycle Tour connects the district capital of Weiz with the Almenland. With this tour, a seamless cycle path connection was created from the Hungarian border town of Szentgatthard (Raabtalradweg) to the Almenland. Along the route there are a number of places to stop for a well-deserved break.

Directions
The tour starts at the Weizer Swimming Pool (opposite the Weiz town hall) past the GH Strobl through Kalkleiten in the direction of Sturmberg/Naas. After a view of the Sturmberg ruins, the ascent begins in the direction of Naas village. The route continues uphill past the Patschabauern farm to the Patscha saddle. From there the trail continues to Greith and via Kogl to Zeil in St. Kathrein.

Visit the wonderful excursion destinations there or take a break at one of the numerous inns.
