Coming from Graz on the A9 exit St. Michael ob Leoben and on the S 35 to Leoben > direction Zentrum (city center)Coming from Vienna on the S 6 to Bruck an der Mur and Leoben > Direction center
First along the steel mill and then along the fine rolling mill, where wire is produced, we ride on the R38 to St. Peter Freienstein, directly past Friedhofen Castle. We continue almost level next to the railroad line to Trofaiach. At the new main square we leave the R38 and ride through the Schulgasse to the Rupertikirche. Behind this church our route branches off from the main road in the direction of Rötz. Passing the cemetery, the sports facility and single-family houses, we enter Rötz. Soon the asphalt ends, we continue on the constantly rising gravel road in the direction of Hiaslegg.
It only gets really steep in the serpentines immediately before the Hiaslegg. The efforts of the ascent are rewarded in the mountain inn and on the descent to Tragöss-Unterort. Those who are in good shape can make a detour to the unique Grüner See lake, while the "normal loop" leads out of the valley to Bruck an der Mur. Past St. Katharein an der Laming, this section is an enjoyable "scooter stage". At the first traffic light in Bruck we turn right onto Wiener Straße, which we follow towards the center. At the traffic circle we meet the Murradweg, which leads into the center. On the R2 Murradweg the route leads via Oberdorf, St. Dionysen, Köllach, Niklasdorf back to Leoben.
