    Anspruchsvoll, erfüllt alle Ansprüche des Montainpikens mit fordernden Anstiegen tollen Abfahrten inklusive Downhils die jedoch umfahren werden können. Tipp: vom Parkplatz am Blaßenstein Abfahrt nach Scheibbs, nach ca 200m geht links ein Weg, das ist die Zufahrt zum Downhil (S2) nach Scheibbs hinunter

    Nice route with your road bike with uphills and pretty fast (79km/h max speed) descends, with not so much cars in the end of March on Friday day and some fast motorcyclists. Beautiful views to the forests, snowy "Father" mountain. After Mariazell's climb there is a gasthaus. Last part to the Lunz am See was also very beautiful along the rocks and river. And those descends... Embrace your uphill reward)
