Raabklamm family tour, St. Ruprecht an der Raab - Weiz
Open
This easy tour leads to the district capital of Weiz and then through the scenic Kleine Raabklamm gorge - an ideal combination of culture and nature
Without exaggeration, the
Little Raab Gorge is the most beautiful section of the Raab Valley Cycle Path. Between
Weiz and Oberdorf, you cycle through alluvial forest and right next to the merrily bubbling Raab. In spring, the wood anemones bloom here, in summer the forest and water are refreshing and in autumn the splendid coloring of the foliage is a delight. Between St. Ruprecht an der Raab and Weiz, you cycle through small villages on the other side of the Raab valley. In St. Ruprecht, you should take a walk to the
art park or stop off at
a pub, while in Weiz there are plenty of shopping opportunities.
A tour for the whole family, without any major climbs. The path in the small Raabklamm gorge is not asphalted, so the tour is NOT suitable for racing bikes.
