Lobmingtaler round tour

On the Lobmingtaler Rundtour we start in Großlobming in the Murtal, climbing gently along the Lobmingbach stream to Kleinlobming. Directly at Gasthof Hubmann, the trail climbs steeply up the asphalted Meranstrasse in the direction of Gaberl. Turn right downhill to the turnoff down to Kleinfeistritz. There we have the possibility to ascend the Salzstiegel, where our (Hike & Bike Station) is located and where we can make a mountain tour to the Rappoldkogel.  

This circular tour starts directly in the centre of Großlobming in the adventure region murtal. After the Wulz Inn, there is a car park on the left-hand side after the bridge, where we turn right. Shortly before we leave Großlobming in the direction of Kleinlobming, we turn right after the park of the Großlobming technical school and ride via Mitterlobming past farms, slightly uphill along the Lobmingbach stream to Kleinlobming where the outdoor swimming pool is also located. At the end of Kleinlobming we turn right to Gasthof Hubmann, from now on it is really steep (average gradient 12%) on the asphalted Meranstrasse uphill to Reisstrasse, which also leads to the Gaberl. Now we have climbed the altitude metres and it's all downhill. We now ride a few kilometres on the federal road 77 before we turn left towards Kleinfeistritz. Now it's a fun ride down a steep, winding road without traffic to the small village of Kleinfeistritz. If the short metres in altitude were not enough for you, you can now turn left in the village and ride up to the Salzstiegel, a popular excursion destination. There is also one of many Bike & Hike stations, i.e. you could park your bike and take a short hike to the Rappoldkogel 1928m with a great view. There are two different ways to ascend over the rocks or the easier way towards the old Almhaus, just follow the signs. From Kleinfeistritz we drive slightly downhill on asphalt road to Großfeistritz and briefly cross the federal road 77 again to the Gaberl. Drive straight on and at the Pichling village sign we turn right, past the horse farm and Thann Castle. Here we have a beautiful view as far as the Tauern, Seckau Alps and Zeltweg. We come to the cycle path and continue right to Großlobming. At the Großlobming technical college, we have the option of visiting the herb competence centre or taking a short detour to the G'schlössl Murtal with its beautiful gardens.
