This great tour leads us from the bike hub 67 over the state road to the village Rachau in the adventure region Murtal in styria. Before the Stadl Cafe, turn left through the Tiefenbachgraben, first on asphalt, then somewhat steeper on a gravel road to the romantic alpine hut Gröndahlhaus with great hospitality. Wonderful view to the west of the Murtal and the northern slopes of the Seckauer Alps, Zirbitzkogel and the Niedere Tauern.

The Gröndahlhaustour from the bike hub 67 left downhill to the Kreunzung state road and right further slightly ascending past the entrance of the witch path in Rachau in the adventure region Murtalin styria. Directly in the center of the village in front of the Rachauer Stadl you continue left on a narrow winding road of the Tiefenbachgraben, first on asphalt, then somewhat steeper on a gravel road to the romantic alpine hut Gröndahlhaus. A magnificent view can be enjoyed from the terrace or the deck chairs to the west of the Murtal and the northern slopes of the Seckau Alps, the Zirbitzkogel and the Niedere Tauern.

It's the small and lovely details that the Gröndahlhaus places great value on. So it can happen that you find one or the other daisy on the Steirerkäsebrot in summer. High-quality fruit nectars, award-winning brandies, openly poured bouteille wines as well as Nespresso coffee and a selection of organic teas make the heart of connoisseurs beat faster. Well fortified, the route now continues downhill on gravel and asphalt to Rachau, where you can stop for a bite to eat at the Rachauer Stadl. Now it goes comfortably with only a short climb back to the starting point.
