The route through the Scheibsgraben connects the Mürztal valley with the Pretal saddle and thus provides a link to the Turnau MTB trails, among others.
This MTB tour takes us from the railway station in Wartberg to the Scheibsgraben. First, we ride slightly uphill on the tarmac road along the Scheibsgrabenbach stream until the route turns into a forest road, which becomes steadily steeper. Passing the Soller Kreuz, the route then descends to the Pretal saddle.
