On the “Uhudler Cycle Path”—as the name suggests—you cycle through the heart of Uhudler country and charming countryside.

From Königsdorf to Zahling and on to Heiligenkreuz on the Hungarian border, the route takes you through hilly countryside. Two steep climbs of 600 m and 700 m near Königsdorf are worth mentioning. To return to the starting point, ride south of the Lafnitz river upstream. The route leads through forests and past orchards, partly along the Lafnitz and mostly through gently rolling terrain.
