Starting right from the 50plus Campingpark Fisching, this varied gravel and leisure cycling loop leads into the Zirbenland region. Quiet side roads, easily rideable paths, gentle climbs, and beautiful views make this tour ideal for anyone who wants to experience the Murtal from the saddle in a relaxed but active way.

This varied gravel and leisure cycling loop starts at the 50plus Campingpark Fisching and heads straight into the Zirbenland region. The tour combines quiet side roads, easily rideable paths, and scenic stretches around Weißkirchen and Fisching. At about 27 kilometers and with an elevation gain of approximately 470 meters, it’s challenging enough to be a little cycling adventure, but remains technically manageable.

After starting in Fisching, the route leads out of town and into the gently rolling countryside on the edge of the Murtal. Along the way, leisurely stretches, short climbs, and quieter sections alternate. Time and again, beautiful views open up onto the surrounding meadows, forests, and mountain ranges of the Zirbenland.

This tour is especially convenient for campground guests: the cycling adventure begins right at your doorstep or at your campsite. Without a long drive, you head out into the countryside, up to beautiful viewpoints, and finally back to the starting point in Fisching. An ideal loop for anyone who wants to combine gravel riding, leisurely cycling, and the region’s scenic diversity—true to the motto: It’s all in the mix.

The tour starts at the 50plus Campingpark Fisching and initially leads out of town toward the Weißkirchen area. After a pleasant warm-up, the first climbs begin as you head toward the higher elevations of the Zirbenland region. The route steadily gains elevation but remains technically rideable.

As the route continues, quiet side roads, easily rideable paths, forest and meadow sections, and scenic stretches alternate. By the time you reach the highest point of the loop, most of the elevation gain has been completed, before the route heads back down toward Fisching. Finally, you roll back to the starting point at the 50plus Campingpark.

We recommend a gravel bike, trekking bike, or e-bike with good tires. Be sure to bring a helmet, plenty of drinks, weather-appropriate clothing, and the GPX track for navigation. The tour follows a mix of public roads, side roads, and easily navigable trails. Please be considerate of other road users, farm vehicles, and pedestrians. Always adjust your riding style to the terrain, weather, and visibility. After rain, some sections may be slippery or soft.
