A classic motorbike tour that leads from Hochsteiermark to Oststeiermark. The highlight is the legendary Rechberg, known for its winding roads and picturesque landscape.
The three passes on this route - Pretalsattel, Schanzsattel and Rechbergsattel - are the highlights of this tour in addition to the scenic variety.
Via Turnau, you reach the Veitschertal via the Pretalsattel. In the village of Veitsch, you can hike to the Pilgrim's Cross, the world's highest wooden cross. Allow about an hour for this. Via the Schanzsattel you finally reach Eastern Styria, which you leave again via Teichalm and Rechbergsattel and thus return to the starting point of the tour, Bruck an der Mur.
