Tour 67a - MTB - Roatmoaralmtour
Open
This moderately difficult tour from the Wipfelwanderweg in the Rachau (cycle junction 67) via the Rösslerbachgraben takes us to the Roatmoarhütte in the
Murtal region in Styria. From here we return to the starting point via Rachau.
This Roatmoaralmtour starts at cycle junction 67 on the right in the direction of Gobernitz, continuing 600m on the tarmac road to the Kirschbauer crossroads and turning left towards Rösslergraben. The path branches off to the left and leads up a steeper forest road past the Lenzenkreuz up to the Roatmoaralm. There you can expect a really great view, mainly of the Eisenerz and Seckau Alps and the Mur Valley in Styria. You can take a break at the great self-service hut and enjoy the drinks that are available there for a fee. You can eat the snacks you have brought with you on the cosy bench with a great view through the window and sign the hut book. Now it's downhill on a rough gravel road over the bridge to the village of Rachau (tarmac) where you can stop for refreshments at the Italian restaurant Sempre in the Rachauer Stadl. Strengthened, the tour continues slightly downhill towards St. Margarethen and after 1.5 km the route turns left again with a final ascent to the car park.

Directions by car:
Exit motorway Knittelfeld Ost, direction St. Margarethen
Please always continue in the direction of Rachau or St. Margarethen bei Knittelfeld and then turn right onto Gleinstraße in St. Margarethen. We recommend that you always stay in the direction of Rachau bei Knittelfeld, as the access road to the Rachau treetop hiking trail (closed since 2022) is located near the Rachau town entrance/exit.
When entering "Mitterbach 25", most navigation systems will guide you to the car park via a somewhat longer and complicated route. We therefore recommend entering the address "Rachau 97" (= Rachau municipal office), as this will take you directly to Rachau and you will then be able to follow our signposts to Gleinstraße and the turn-off from there to the Rachau treetop hiking trail.
