- Description
-
In the thermal & volcanic land of Styria, the four elements - water, fire, earth and air - have found their home. For this reason, these e-bike tours are also dedicated to the four elements.
This tour is dedicated to AIR.
Air stands for mobility and freedom - so it's no wonder that we named one of our tours after this element, since movement in the great outdoors is the main aspect of your adventure. And while you're discovering Styria's Thermal & Volcanic Land on your e-bike, you'll enjoy the fresh breeze that tastes of green meadows and lush forests. Curiosity is also represented by the element air - and you are very welcome to pursue it while exploring our wonderful region!
With the support of the federal government and the European Union.

We start in Feldbach and immediately tackle the most strenuous part of the route. From Feldbach to Kropfberg, you are continuously confronted with an incline. In return, you pass the pleasure triangle of the thermal and volcanic land of Styria. Those who enjoy sparkling wine, chocolate, cheese, vinegar and distillates also have to cut calories.
The second challenge in terms of altitude meters is encountered between Pöllau near Gleisdorf and Takern I.
Those who have made it this far are not only rewarded with a wonderful panorama, but also with a continuously gently descending bike course. So you roll back into Feldbach with a light foot.
