This tour starts at the bike hub 50 at the Red Bull Ring and leads us to the Adlerkuppe in the adventure region Murtal.

This tour is very popular with locals in the Murtal adventure region and starts at the bike hub 50 at the Red Bull Ring and continues towards Fohnsdorf to Flatschach. Where the tents are usually at events at the Red Bull Ring, this tour leads up through the forest on a gravel path with beautiful views of the Murtal Valley to the Adlerkuppe in the Murtal Adventure Region. A small summit cross (without a view) in the middle of the forest invites you to take a short break and you can even sign a summit book. From now on it's downhill and the downhill on a comfortable gravel path is an absolute highlight down to Flatschach and the Red Bull Ring.

At the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg are sufficient parking spaces

The tour starts at the parking lot at the Red Bull Ring and leads along the bike path towards Fohnsdorf to Flatschach. On the right, continue leisurely on asphalt road through the ditch before it goes on pleasant gravel - forest road uphill to the Adlerkuppe.

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 vacationers to avoid litter and unnecessary noise. In order not to disturb the animals, the mountain bike routes should only be used during the day:

from June 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.

Mountain bike: roadworthy (e-)mountain bike with plenty of suspension travel, 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). Functional shirt, cycling 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, map material.

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 with the technique and condition. This will also help you avoid accidents.

After this tour you can refresh yourself in the cafe at the Red Bull Ring and possibly take part in an exclusive guided tour. It is a look behind the scenes of one of the most modern race tracks in the world.

Bike rental (no e-bikes) possible directly at the Red Bull Ring.
