Detailed information on how to get here can be found
here.
- The ascent from Pöllau towards Pöllauberg (approx. 6 km and 350 metres in altitude) is mostly on local roads. From Hotel Retter, the route leads along the orchards along partly forest tracks towards Pöllauberg.
- At the Ölkreuz waypoint on the left, the easier option or the more challenging section on the right leads to the pilgrimage church.
- The next stage up the Masenberg (approx. 6 km and 500 metres in altitude) runs along the Masenbergstraße and here we reach the highest point of this tour on the Masenberg at 1261 m.
- The descent is possible via the road again or via the 5 km long, very challenging downhill route built into the natural landscape (only for very experienced mountain bikers with the appropriate equipment!!!).
- After a gastronomic stopover on the Pöllauberg, you return to the starting point in Pöllau as described above.
- Attention: Parts of the route are on hiking trails.
