Starting from Feldbach train station we begin our tour through the city center of Feldbach, along the R45. We cycle along the R45 and reach Bad Gleichenberg. Here we have the opportunity to relax in the spa park or in the thermal baths. Our tour continues along the R45 to Straden and on to Donnersdorf where we meet the R2 (Murradweg). This now accompanies us for a short distance through the Mur meadows until we leave them again in Diepersdorf. In Diepersdorf we cross the railroad tracks and continue to Ratschendorf and Deutsch Goritz. Tip: Delicious soft ice cream is available at Gasthof Bader in Deutsch Goritz. Now the Gleichenberg tour leads us through Trössing, Grabersdorf and Raning to Gnas. Here, for the first time, we have the opportunity to take the Gleichenberg train back to our starting point. Now we have some last ascents ahead of us and reach Feldbach in about 15 km.
