91a - MTB - Weißensteintour

We start our tour near the Obdacher Sattel in the Rudolf Falbgasse and cycle along the Lauslingbach stream. After a few kilometres we branch off to the right into the Roßbachgraben and ride very tediously and somewhat laboriously up through the shade of the forest to the Weißensteinhütte. Now we have really earned the good Bretteljause at the Weißensteinhütte in the Murtal adventure region in Styria.

Walkers and hikers always have priority. A friendly and considerate approach to pedestrians is a prerequisite. In case of encounters, it is important to make yourself heard with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

Our nature and landscape is virtually untouched and beautiful. To keep it that way, we ask holidaymakers to avoid litter and unnecessary noise. In order not to disturb the animals, the mountain bike trails should only be used during the day:

from 1 June to 15 September from 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m.

Ride only on cleared, marked trails and never off the beaten track. The road traffic regulations must be observed on the forest paths!

As with driving a car, you should always ride on sight when mountain biking. On forest roads, wood on the roadway and motor vehicles are to be expected.

If you come across grazing animals on the trail, reduce your speed to walking pace to avoid wrong reactions of the animals. Please always close grazing gates!

Correct self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overexert yourself in terms of technique and fitness. This will also help you avoid accidents.
