July 8, 2023, Schwarzatal Föhrenau _ Reichenau Radroute

Very nice tour. If you drive it back and forth, you get an extensive approx. 74 km. Very scenic and recommended on warm days, as there are many shady spots along the tour. A welcome (lunch) break in one of the inns in Reichenau completes the tour. Not to forget: coffee at the main square in Neunkirchen.

Today went on a great bike tour in bright spring weather on the Schwarzatalradweg. The train takes you to Payerbach / Reichenau, then it went a little way to the spa gardens in Reichenau an der Rax and back again on the Schwarzatal cycle path. Great views of the black and generally very beautiful area.

Our highlight on the route was the chance meeting with Manu from KastlGreissler 🥰. Day or night, public holiday or Sunday, whether it's stormy or snowing, you can always get a good snack here. https://www.kastlgreissler.com/standorte/payerbach/

The cycle route through the Schwarzatal Valley isn't a continuous cycle path, but it mostly follows side roads and paths. Furthermore, the route doesn't have any significant inclines. The Linsberg Asia Therme thermal baths await at the end, an ideal place to relax. The start and end points are easily accessible by train.
