0.0/0.0   We start at the "Kleine Erlauftal" bike path (formerly Meridian bike path) at the (former) Wang station in the Kleine Erlauftal going upstream.

2.4/2.4   To the right of the Kleine Erlauf towards the Perwarth ruin.

1.5/3.9   We cross the Kleine Erlauf, ride through the Mosser company premises, cross the Kleine Erlauf again to the right and ride near the river to the end of a settlement in Perwarth.

2.8/6.7   Here the signposted bike path stays close to the Kleine Erlauf and becomes a gravel path. There are some ascents on the bike path that we wanted to avoid.

Therefore, we stay to the right of the Kleine Erlauf and cycle on the state road L 96 past another Mosser factory to Randegg.

1.1/7.8   Shortly after Feldhofer bakery (just before the railway crossing), we turn right and are back on the bike path.
Always close to the stream and near the railway.
Just before the Karlwirt guesthouse, the next bridge over the Kleine Erlauf.

1.5/9.3   A short stretch on the left side, then a short uphill to the Karlwirt guesthouse.
Immediately afterwards it goes downhill again, we cross the Kleine Erlauf and the railway again, go briefly uphill and arrive at a farm where the Proviantweg (hiking trail) goes off to the right, leading after about 200 m to the Meridian stone.

3.0/12.3   Continue near the Kleine Erlauf, at a crossroads turn left, we reach the first halls of the Welser company.
We cross the federal road, follow the signs and come along the stream to Gresten.
Shortly before reaching B 22 (road to Scheibbs), we see a small bike sign to Reinsberg.

1.4/13.7   If we want to take a closer look at Gresten, straight ahead into the center.

We follow the narrow road heading northeast parallel to B 22 up the hill.
I did not see any further signposts.
We arrive at a sign where only residents and bike traffic are allowed, here it goes uphill a bit more, then flattens out into the Weidach settlement.

0.5/14.2   We turn left, continuing uphill.
There are some forks to the left; we ride uphill to the second right turn.
Here we reach the highest point of our round.

0.9/15.1   We turn right, going fast downhill until we reach a settlement and shortly thereafter the road through the Ewixengraben.

4.9/20.0   Now turn left and gently downhill alongside the Ewixen stream back to Wang.

1.4/21.4   In Wang turn right, shortly behind the clock tower turn left (signpost Amstetten), we cross the Kleine Erlauf once more.
Shortly before the railway crossing, we meet the Kleine Erlauftal bike path again.
Take it briefly left to the station.
