Windpark Pretul: Auersbach - Moschkogel - Roseggerhaus

We start in Mürzzuschlag in Wiener Straße at the tobacconist's and first take the tarmac road into the Auersbach. Initially only slightly uphill, the road becomes steeper and steeper and finally turns into a forest road.

The official mountain bike route begins at the last car park in Auersbach. Here the road also becomes steeper and steeper. We cycle to the large fork in the road, where the routes divide. Turn left towards Friedrichhütte, straight ahead towards Schwarzriegelalm and slightly right towards Moschkogel.

After this fork in the road, the route becomes more moderate again, climbing only minimally, over the Madereben to the Unterer Moschkogel, where you can see the wind turbines for the first time. We continue until the path splits again and we take the steep ascent to the Oberer Moschkogel with the Moschkogel hut.

After a stop for refreshments and a long rest, we ride over the Geiereck and turn right here towards Pretul and Roseggerhaus. We pass the highest point of the tour, the Peter Bergner Warte.

On the way back, we either take the same route or alternatively take the downhill option via the Ganzalm and the Bärenkogel to Mürzzuschlag.

A few more requests - nature and wildlife will thank you and the bike experience will be even more beautiful: 

Please stay on the designated paths!
Riding on the MTB trail is permitted from 15 May to 15 October 2 hours after sunrise and up to 2 hours before sunset and is at your own risk!
Please do not leave any rubbish behind!
Hikers and pedestrians have priority!
Please ride responsibly and at half speed!
Please only ride a technically sound bike!
Emergency call for rescue: 144

Tip for reporting an emergency - answer the six following questions: What has happened? How many casualties? Where did the accident happen (possibly GPS coordinates)? Who is reporting (callback number)? When did the accident happen? Weather at the scene of the accident?

The tour can be ridden on a mountain bike or e-mountain bike.

Check your bike after every tour for air pressure, spoke tension and brake pads.
A helmet is part of every mountain bike tour.
Think in advance about what equipment you need to take with you: warm clothing, rain and wind protection, a repair kit and first aid kit belong in your rucksack, as well as a charged mobile phone

Tip: A basic set of tools and accessories such as a spare inner tube and/or repair kit, spanner, air pump, brake and gear cable and a screwdriver can never hurt!

We recommend a stop at the Halterhütte on the Moschkogel for a cheese sandwich, while the Roseggerhaus on the Pretul tempts you with homemade strudel.

Take the train to Mürzzuschlag station.
