Styria is a mountainous, forested state in Austria—and a paradise for cyclists. Steep climbs and hundreds of kilometers of quiet side roads offer breathtaking views and wind through picturesque vineyards, serving as trails for unforgettable cycling vacation experiences.
The route essentially follows the “Christoph Strasser Loop,” but is a shorter version of the full 217-kilometer route with 3,870 meters of elevation gain. It leads from the bike shop in Gleisdorf to the Almenland Nature Park, then on to Pöllau and Hartberg; the section between the Teichalm, the Sommeralm, and the Stoakoglhütte is particularly scenic.
