The 62.9-kilometer tour, with an elevation gain of approximately 744 meters, offers both athletic challenges and numerous beautiful scenic views. Among the special highlights are the Heiligenbrunn wine cellar district, the Lafnitz floodplains, and the Hochkogel near Eltendorf. Time and again, beautiful views of the gently rolling landscape of southern Burgenland open up.
The varied route combines nature, regional culture, and the wine-growing regions and cellar lanes typical of the Uhudlerland.
Author’s recommendation
The Königsdorf swimming lake is a great spot for a short break. Its idyllic location by the water offers a lovely place to catch your breath and invites you to enjoy nature and the peaceful surroundings.
