    Did the Terminator ever ride a bike? We don’t know, but at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum in Thal, you’ll learn all about his life, including his baptism in Jakobuskirche, which was transformed into a shimmering masterpiece by Ernst Fuchs in the 90s.

    The tour takes you from Thal through Eben and Steinberg Observatory to Rohrbach, where Vinzenz Stern produces award-winning cheeses such as Aichstern and Liebochthaler. The R56 Liebochtal Cycle Path winds through orchards and vineyards, passing many wine taverns along the way. At Birnstingl in Reiteregg, high-quality pumpkin seed oil is pressed. The tour continues to St. Bartholomä, where the neo-Gothic church invites a moment of reflection. The stretch to Stiwoll offers breathtaking views of the Gleinalm and Koralpen region.

    After a refreshing break at Bad Weihermühle, you’ll visit the Maria Straßengel Pilgrimage Church and return to Thalersee.

    Author’s recommendation

    Allow plenty of time for breaks, such as stopping at the many wine taverns, taking a refreshing swim at Bad Weihermühle, and visiting sights along the cycle path and in Thal.
