- Description
-
A bike tour for experienced cyclists. However, the route up the Kulm (also known as the "Styrian Rigi") is easy to manage on an e-bike. At the highest point of the tour at the "Steirischer Schnitzelwirt" you will be fully rewarded for your efforts with a magnificent panoramic view over Eastern Styria and the Pannonian lowlands.
- Directions
-
The tour starts in the center of Pischelsdorf am Kulm at the elementary school.
We leave the village and cycle along the Kulmstraße towards Rohrbach am Kulm
Steady ascent until we reach the Kulmkeltendorf - well worth a visit
Then we continue along the Kulmstraße to the Steirischer Schnitzelwirt (open on Saturdays and Sundays) - finally done and a well-deserved break.
After an extensive refreshment, we return to the starting point.

A few tips on correct and fair behavior: Cycling and mountain biking in the forest (oesterreich.gv.at)
Cyclists should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at this time.
Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any garbage in the forest.
Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!
