From the village center in Ybbsitz, the tour first leads along the asphalt Prochenbergstraße with a gradient of up to 14% to the Haselsteiner farmhouse. After a short flat section, you reach the gravel road which is constantly steep (8-12%). Shortly before the last kilometer, it flattens out again for a few meters before you reach the hut via the last two hairpin bends. The same way back!
