Rastlandweg R15: from one river cycle path to the next

Rastlandweg connects the two cycle paths along the rivers Enns and Mur. It leads from Selzthal through the Paltental and Liesingtal valleys. For the most part, cyclists ride on side roads and designated cycle paths, as well as through village centres.

The way up to Wald am Schoberpass is somewhat hilly and quite challenging. Once you’ve completed this section, you’ll be going slightly downhill from there until you reach St. Michael in Upper Styria.
