The Gösser Cycle Route combines a leisurely bike ride with fascinating insights into the history of the brewing town of Leoben-Göss. Along this short circular route, seven information boards provide interesting facts about beer, the art of brewing and regional ingredients. Thanks to the flat terrain, the route is not only suitable for cyclists, but is also ideal for running and Nordic walking.

The Gösser Radlerweg is a themed route approximately 4.7 kilometres long that combines exercise and culture. Along the route, seven information points provide details on the history of the Göss Brewery, the importance of the brewing water, regional hop cultivation and the region’s long brewing tradition. This flat circular route runs mainly along cycle paths and quiet roads and can be explored either by bike or on foot. It is also ideal for running or Nordic walking, as it has very few inclines and is a pleasant length for sporting activities. This makes it perfect for an active day out or as a complement to a visit to Leoben-Göss.
