Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Basilica of Mariazell

Highlight • Religious Site

The Roman Catholic basilica of Mariazell is the most important place of pilgrimage in Austria and also significant beyond the country's borders. A Gothic church with a striking pointed arch portal was built here in the 14th century. The central tower is 90 meters high and the largest bell in Styria rings in it. She weighs 5,702 kilograms. The bell tower is bordered on the left and right by two other towers that were built in the course of the Baroque era in the 17th century.

The basilica is open daily from 7.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m. There are regular tours of the treasury and the votive collection. If you want to read more about the house of God, you can find useful information here: basilika-mariazell.at.

Inn Zur Wuchtlwirtin

Highlight • Restaurant

The Wuchteln are terrific - both in scope and taste.
And the other dishes on the menu are huge too. It takes a bit of strategy to accommodate all of this. :-)

Gscheid Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Gscheid is an inconspicuous but charming pass in southern Lower Austria near the border with Styria. In the south is the Göller (1766m), in the north the Traisenberg (1230m). The pass road itself (B21) is perfectly developed, fine asphalt. At the apex there are two inns and a small church. Just four kilometers north-west of the Gscheid is another little pass, the Michelbühel, and the Lahnsattel is not far away either.
