Roadbook

We start heading towards Sommerein and shortly after pass the ruins of Wenzelkirche. With a short detour, it is worth admiring. Passing Gaisberg, we then reach the Hochfilzerhütte near Mannersdorf. At Scheiterberg with its 350m, there is a ski lift. The route continues to the Scharfeneck castle ruins. After that, it goes continuously southward to the Kaiser Franz Josef Warte with a great view over the wide landscape. Shortly after, we reach the southernmost point and now ride north, later northeast back to the starting point. The military training area is bypassed on the way there and back. Only during large exercises can closures be a concern.
