Open
The fifth day of the cycling star tour leads to the Raabursprung.
In the city of volcanic life culture, in Feldbach, you take the train to Gleisdorf. From there, a well-marked path leads to the source of the Raab. The last meters to the source are mastered on foot. After a refreshing stop at the source of the river, we return the
the same way back.
