Strallegg, Restaurant/Hotel "Der Almblick" (free)

We start at the Gasthof Almblick
Here we borrow the e-bikes - making the tour a special experience
After approx. 1 kilometer we keep left and follow the asphalted municipal road towards Strallegg
Here we pass numerous wonderful viewpoints. At a sharp bend above the Strallegg village sign, we turn right onto the L 458 main road into the village of Strallegg and follow the main road until approx. 50 m after the Landring Lagerhaus petrol station
Here we turn right onto the municipal road “Bründlweg” and follow the route
Here, too, there are some wonderful viewpoints into the Feistritztal valley
After approx. 3.5 km we reach the B72 main road and turn left
Take extra care here, as this road is quite busy
After approx. 400 m we leave the B72 after the bridge over the Feistritz to the right and after a short distance we reach the R8 cycle path and keep left towards Birkfeld. Cycle along the flat R8 (the former route of the narrow-gauge railroad) to the 1st Feistritz reservoir and turn left to the Seehütte snack station
As the sloping path and the narrow bridge over the reservoir are also used by hikers, it is advisable to get off the e-bike briefly from the R8 until after the bridge (approx. 50 m) and after approx. 200 m we have reached our destination
We relax on the idyllic banks of the reservoir and fortify ourselves for the return journey
