Treffner Bach Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Sometimes you drive in the shade of the trees, which has a very cooling effect in the summer heat.

We actually wanted to go to Landskron Castle... but they only let cars up there 🫣 ...you change to the 🚴 for ecological and health reasons and then that...

Today, the heat is forecast again at 31 degrees Celsius, so we avoided the elevation gain and cycled leisurely from lake to lake through the reeds on the moorland circular path towards Landskron Castle, where we were denied access by those horrible signs 🚳🚳

Our lunch destination is the noodle factory in Müllnern. After the annual shopping we enjoy …

We roll along the Drau River to St. Magdalen, with a short detour for shopping on Maria Gailer Straße and then along the Gail River, we reach Müllnern to buy special pasta at the …
