    sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Radtour. Laut Garmin ist die Tour knapp 70 km lang und es sind 770 Höhenmeter zu überwinden, ich bin es mit meinen Mountainbike ohne Unterstützung gefahren. Sehr gut hat mir Maria Neustift gefallen, da war ich das erste Mal! Die Kirche ist sehenswert und gleich nebenan gibt es ein sehr schönes Kaffeehaus da kann sich von der Radtour erholen. Auch der Platz rund um die Kirche hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Von Maria Neustift ist es zunächst bergab gegeangen und dann rechts ab bergauf Richtung Ertl und St.Peter. Die Strasse durch den Wald hat mir bei dieser Radtour am besten gefallen, es war sehr ruhig, sehr idyllisch fast abgeschieden. Der Alpenverein Amstetten hat eine sehr schöne Radtour zusammengestellt! Nur von Böhlerwerk bis zur Abzweigung nach Ertl war sehr viel Autoverkehr

    Die Maria Neustift Runde war fantastisch! Bei sonnigem Wetter gestartet, haben wir die Radtour in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Tour haben wir mit einer gemütlichen Einkehr in einem Gasthaus abgeschlossen. Besonders toll war, dass man keinen Zeitdruck hatte und die wunderschöne Strecke auf dem Ennsradweg nach Großraming, durch den Neustiftgraben nach Maria Neustift und über die Schwarze Kuchl und die Kreuzgruberhöhe nach Neudorf in Ruhe genießen konnte. Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!
