- Description

We start in Altenmarkt on the road towards Zauchensee. After crossing the Zauchbach, the tour leads us to the Ameisenberg. On the Kehmadhöhe we cycle on asphalt, later on forest roads. In varying steepness we reach the highest point of the tour at approx. 1500 m via forest and meadow terrain. Here begins a relatively steep gravel descent through the Steinwand forest down into the Zauchbach valley. Along the stream, the route now leads us out of the valley, past the adventure forest, until we return to the starting point in Altenmarkt after a total of just under 20 km.

Start in Altenmarkt at the Altenmarkt-Zauchensee tourist office. Behind the sports field, keep left along Schlatterbergweg, then turn right at the fork in the road and then straight ahead and turn left at Feuersangweg and continue to Zauchenseestraße. Now turn towards Zauchensee, after 300 m turn left into Zefferergasse and then turn right at the Schattauergasse junction. Pass the Steirerwirt and turn left, continue to Pailgut. Then turn right onto Bifangweg (left would be the connection to the Königslehen loop). Pass the Hochnössler and follow the forest road to the Wolfsgrubenhütte. After another 700 m uphill, turn left in serpentines downhill to Zauchenseestraße, turn right and after 400 m turn left onto the forest road. At the fork, turn right towards Altenmarkt along the forest road, crossing Zauchenseestraße twice and once taking the subway to the Steirerwirt. From here, take the same route back to Altenmarkt.
