Southern Waldviertel cycling route

Popis

From Ysperdorf in the municipality of Hofamt Priel to Spitz on the Danube runs the Southern Waldviertel cycling route. The path starts at the Danube and leads – as the name implies – through the Southern Waldviertel. A total of ten towns await with their special features to be explored. A small detour right at the beginning of the route is worth it to walk through the Ysperklamm. A nature experience of a very special kind, which leaves a lasting impression due to the gorge itself as well as because of the magnificent forests. Refreshed, the ride on two wheels continues with a view of the Ostrong peak. The next break is recommended in Pöggstall. In this quaint town stands a castle in the style of the Italian Renaissance, which is absolutely worth seeing! After another stop at the Heiligenblut pilgrimage church in Raxendorf, the route leads via Mühldorf and Spitz back to the Danube.
