Maria Seesal pilgrimage churchPhoto: weinfranz.at
You cycle downstream along the Ybbstal cycle path to Gstadt and continue along the small Ybbstal cycle path to Ybbsitz - one of the main towns on the Iron Road and home to the FeRRum - Museum World of Iron. You then cycle around the Prochenberg - initially in the direction of Zogelsgraben, where after a few flat kilometers you arrive in the small Maria Seesal with its pilgrimage church.
The following 2km or so lead uphill at a maximum gradient of 10%, interspersed with flat sections - some on gravel. Soon a short, steep descent leads past the Theurezbach estate into the high valley of Prolling, where a few more small hills await you until you reach the large Kripp.
The last 4 km lead downhill back to Opponitz.
Author’s recommendation
A visit to FeRRum - World of Iron is worthwhile. Impressive insights into the blacksmith craft.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.

Roadbook
From Opponitz along the Ybbstalradweg downstream to Gstadt, then further right into the small Ybbstal on the bike path to Ybbsitz. After the town, 3 km on the main road to the junction in the direction of Maria Seesal - a lightly trafficked side road in the Zogelsgraben. From Maria Seesal half right towards Prochenberg and Gut Theurezbach - it goes about 3 km uphill, the last 500 m on gravel with about 10%.
A steep descent past Gut Theurezbach (large paddocks!) and right to the junction with the state road in the Hochtal Prolling. Turn left towards Opponitz and follow the barely trafficked road with some short hills to the crest at the small Kripp.
A winding but easy-to-ride descent leads back to Opponitz.
