Cycling tour Starting from Opponitz, Village Square

The tour starts comfortably on the Ybbstal cycle path upstream to Hollenstein. Here, turn right through the village into the sand ditch towards Gamsstein. In no time at all, an idyllic, secluded atmosphere, getting steeper and steeper up to the Promau with a beautiful clearing and rest area. A partly steep, winding descent leads down into the Mendlingtal valley and onwards via a short, steep counter-climb to Lassing.
The route descends to Göstling and continues along the Ybbstal cycle path via Kogelsbach to St. Georgen am Reith. From here, the route now climbs 3km with a maximum gradient of 10% up to the large Kripp and over an almost 5km long descent (max. 16%) back to Opponitz.
Exercise caution on the descent from Promau through the forest into the Mendling Valley (narrow, winding) and at the start of the descent from the Große Kripp (steep slope and a hairpin turn at the end)
