Beautiful short round trip that starts in Großlobming/Lobmingtal.

This lovely loop starts in Apfelberg at Cycle Junction 58, in front of the brickworks. Turn left towards the dog training area and continue along the River Mur. At the barrier, please be aware of any closures due to timber work. The route then follows a gentle forest road uphill to the Thalberghof inn. We then keep to the right and cycle past the Murtalbankerl, which offers a lovely view of the Mura Valley. The route continues gently uphill through the forest. Cycle signs indicate the turn-offs towards Nusspolter and towards the farm. Just before this, we turn left and cycle briefly uphill on rough gravel. At the animal grating, we turn right onto a lovely gravel path below the electricity pylon until we reach the right-hand turn-off into the woods. The route then descends gently and we cycle through a farmyard (watch out for children) at a leisurely pace along a tarmac road towards Einödhof. At the ruins, we keep to the right and cycle along the main road back to the starting point in Apfelberg.

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 known with the bell and pass slowly. Walking paths and hiking trails may not be used by mountain bikes.

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

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

from 16 September to 31 October from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

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

Just as when 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 encounter grazing livestock on the trail, reduce your speed to walking pace to avoid wrong reactions of the animals. Please always close grazing gates!

Proper self-assessment is necessary in any sport! Do not overstrain yourself in technique and condition. This also avoids accidents.

Mountain bike: roadworthy (e-)mountain bike with plenty of wheel traction, bike helmet, if necessary enduro or full-face helmet, if necessary elbow and knee protectors, if necessary back and shin protector, day bike backpack (approx. 20 liters) with rain cover, mountain bike shoes with ankle protection, weather-adapted and durable clothing in multi-layer principle (e.g. functional shirt, bike jersey, bib shorts, arm warmers and leg warmers). shatterproof cycling glasses, long-finger gloves, air pump, bicycle tools, sun and rain protection, provisions and drinking water, water bottle and suitable holder, first aid kit, pocket knife, cell phone, if necessary cell phone holder for the handlebars, if necessary headlamp and reflectors, maps.

For those who still have energy at the Nußbolterhube, you can just go straight and ride the Long Tour.

This tour is NOT considered "accessible by train and bus" because there is no regular connection.
