More information

The starting point of this tour is the main square Vordernberg.
The starting point of this tour is at the main square Vordernberg near the UNESCO World Heritage Site Radwerk IV. First follows a steep climb in the direction of Hohe Rötz, before it turns left after about 1500 m in the direction of the TV transmitter with a terrain-like descent. From here you get magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and the Präbichl pass road. After another ascent to the Laurentikirche church, the trail leads back along the Eisenbundesstraße B115a through the market town of Vordernberg with its numerous monuments of mining history.

The route runs 19% on the paved main road and 81% on side roads. The condition of these roads and paths is divided into 37% asphalt, 54% gravel and 9% off-road.

A visit to Radwerk IV is a must during a visit to Vordernberg.
