All about the Healthy Region Vorau, Vorau

• We start our cycle tour at Sitft Vorau and ride in the direction of Masenberg
• First we cycle downhill until we reach the Brühl after approx. 100 meters, but immediately afterwards there is a steep uphill section to Gasthof Glatz “Kagerwirt” in Puchegg
• We continue cycling on an asphalt road towards Masenberg
• After a section through a wooded area and on gravel roads, we reach the crossroads on the Masenberg
• Here we can make a detour to the Masenberg or to the wind turbines and the “Olmstoll”. The Glückskapelle chapel would be waiting for us at the summit of the Masenberg
• However, we stay on the local road and continue until we reach the former Gasthof Lembäcker inn
• We reach the municipality of Vornholz via a short forest path and a section on the main road
• On the main road, we immediately turn left and make a detour to “Chrizzly's Hütte”. We could also take a break here and play a game of mini golf
• We then follow the municipal road until we come back to Markt Vorau and could return to the starting point
• However, we cycle on through the market to the town hall, cross the archway and head towards Riegersberg
• We cycle past the Brennerwirt inn to the Forsterhöhe and make a short stop at the Hubertus Chapel
• Then we continue on our way to the next cider tavern, the “Kuchlbauer”
• From here it is not far back to our starting point, Vorau Abbey
