Raab valley and Neuhaus hills tour - B70 (Raabtal u. Neuhauser Hügelland)

Name: Raab valley and Neuhaus hills tour - B70 (Raabtal u. Neuhauser Hügelland)
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (3 reviews)

Here the world is still in order, orchards, lots of forest and the flair of borderland accompany you on these paths.

Hungary and Slovenia are often close enough to touch (border triangle in the Oberdrosen/Tauka area), you pass the Raabtal valley and cross the Neuhauser Hügelland hills. We are in the southernmost tip of Burgenland here and you can feel it. This cycle route is recommended for sporty cyclists.

Route planer

At the start of Therme, turn right until you reach the crossroads - then right again towards Gillersdorf/Golfplatz. After approx. 200 metres you will see the signs for "Paradiesroute Südburgenland". Follow these signs to the right to and through Jennersdorf and then to St. Martin. From St. Martin you are now on the B70 cycle path and follow the corresponding signs.
You now cycle through the villages of Eisenberg a. d. Raab and Oberdrosen on local roads with little traffic and reach the border triangle of Austria, Slovenia and Hungary. The route continues via Tauka towards Kalch and Neuhaus am Klausenbach (which gave the tour its name). Passing Tabor Castle, the cycle tour leads through the Raab Nature Park to Hirzenriegel, Welten, Gritsch, Doiber and back to St. Martin.
Continue straight on through the village and take the same route as at the beginning via Neumarkt to Jennersdorf. From here, follow the ‘Paradiesroute Südburgenland’ signs again - this leads back to the thermal spa.

In the area between Tauka and Oberdrossen, a short detour to the actual intersection of the 3 countries pays off.
