A detour into the Mariazeller Land and Hochschwab region. A very long and scenic tour!

The route initially leads flat through the small Ybbstal valley and through the Zogels- and Wiesergraben to Gaming. This is followed by a climb up the Grubberg on a wide road, before turning left towards Mariazell.

We cycle further into the valley through the wild and romantic valley, initially rather flat but the route becomes increasingly steeper. There are a few challenging ramps to negotiate before you reach the highest point of the tour, the Zellerrain, via a beautifully situated alpine pasture.

This is followed by a brisk descent and some flat sections to Gußwerk. This is where the almost 50 km long ride through the wild and romantic Salzatal begins. There are a few short climbs to master here, but for the most part the route is always downstream. After the Salzatal, turn right and ride down a short incline to Göstling. A 2.5 km long climb over the Große Kripp is still to be mastered on the last otherwise flat 30 kilometers in the Ybbstal back to Waidhfoen.
