Directions
The route starts in Sulz near Gleisdorf and leads along the country road over the Sommerberg. After the climb, you roll down to the imposing village of Pöllau, continuing through the Rittscheintal valley to Markt Hartmannsdorf. From there, take the cycle path that runs parallel to the main road to St. Kind. In a zig-zag course, we often change sides in the wide Rittscheintal valley and come to the herb village of Söchau with its herb garden. It is worth taking a break here or joining a guided tour of the herb garden (May-October). The route then continues via Übersbach to Bad Loipersdorf, where you can finish off by recovering from your exertions at the Loipersdorf thermal spa resort. From the center of Bad Loipersdorf, the path leads identically with the R12 thermal cycle path to the thermal baths.
