Almost entirely on cycle paths, this tour leads into the neighboring Enns Valley and along the Heiligenstein with its small pilgrimage church dedicated to St. Sebaldus.
The tour starts comfortably on the Ybbstal cycle path upstream to Klein-Hollenstein. Turn right here and take a very rhythmic (approx. 5%) climb up to the Saurüssel to the Upper Austrian border. The easy descent ends at the beginning of Weyer, where after an S-bend you take a sharp right (watch out!) towards Breitenau. The narrow road leads back along the ditch, where it climbs for another 1km at around 10% until you reach a small plateau. Here you have the option of turning left and cycling to the Sebalduskirche church on the Heiligenstein (note: very steep climb, on gravel at the end).
The route continues down to Gaflenz, through the town and along the cycle path to Waidhofen/Ybbs. After passing through the town, cycle upstream along the Ybbstal cycle path as at the beginning to the starting point in Opponitz.
Up to about 3 km before entering Waidhofen/Ybbs, the route runs on cycle paths or very little-trafficked secondary roads. Here pay increased attention!
