Description
This wooded tour starts at tour point 10 at Gasthof Mooswirt in Steinmetzgraben near Fohnsdorf in the Murtal adventure region in styria and is a nice circular tour for all MTB enthusiasts. Along the Allerheiligenbach it goes uphill to the end of the asphalt road and turn left on gravel road and then the path leads straight to the summit cross "Black Lord". Elfi Lukas describes in the book Von Schloss zu Schloss (From Castle to Castle): "When lightning struck the cross, the statue of Christ turned black but did not burn". A popular destination for Murtal hikers and bikers. The descent goes sharply to the right in the direction of Himmelbauer and enjoy the view in the direction of Pöls during a short break. Continue to the quarry Pöls Oberkurzheim where now the asphalt road begins again and drive through the village to the turnoff left to Fohnsdorf. On very narrow well-traveled road, the tour leads straight to Allerheiligen and from there left in the Steinmetzgraben and continue the stream to the inn Mooswirt with great stop.

Safety instructions
Walkers and hikers always have priority. A friendly and considerate approach to pedestrians is a prerequisite. In case of encounters, it is important to make yourself known with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

Our nature and landscape is as good as untouched and beautiful. To keep it that way, we ask vacationers to avoid litter and unnecessary noise. In order not to disturb the animals, the mountain bike routes should only be used during the day:

 

from June 1 to September 15 from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

from 16 September to 31 October from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

 

 

Ride only on cleared, marked trails and never off the beaten path. On the forest paths the road traffic regulations must be observed!

Just like driving a car, you should always ride on sight when mountain biking. On frosty roads, expect to see wood on the roadway and motor vehicles.

If you encounter grazing livestock on the trail, reduce your speed to walking pace to avoid any false reactions from the animals. Please always close grazing gates!

Proper self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overstrain yourself in technique and condition. This also avoids accidents.

 

Tips

Be sure to take a photo of the magnificent view into the Pölstal. The "Black Lord" is also a popular photo motif in the region.
