Lebing circuit, Hartberg
Characteristics
FitnessThe tour in numbers
With its extensive fields and the town of Hartberg, which is located at the foot of the Ringkogel, the Hartbergerland offers a tranquil setting for hiking and cycling tours all year round. The landscape is on the whole quite flat and is therefore suitable for leisurely tours with numerous opportunities to stop for refreshments, for example in the old town of Hartberg. You get to culturally important places and also get to know the history of the town better along the way. In addition, you can walk through the Hartberger Gmoos, a large natural area that is a Natura 2000 partner.
