The ascent from Pöllau towards Pöllauberg (approx. 6 km and 350 metres in altitude) is mostly on local roads. From Hotel Retter, the route leads along the orchards along partly forest tracks towards Pöllauberg.
At the Ölkreuz waypoint on the left, the easier option or the more challenging section on the right leads to the pilgrimage church.
The next stage up the Masenberg (approx. 6 km and 500 metres in altitude) runs along the Masenbergstraße and here we reach the highest point of this tour on the Masenberg at 1261 m.
The descent is possible via the road again or via the 5 km long, very challenging downhill route built into the natural landscape (only for very experienced mountain bikers with the appropriate equipment!!!).
After a gastronomic stopover on the Pöllauberg, you return to the starting point in Pöllau as described above.
Attention: Parts of the route are on hiking trails.
