Coming from Graz, leave the S6 - Semmering motorway at Mitterdorf (St. Barbara im Mürztal). At the roundabout, take the first exit to Krieglach. Follow the main road until you see the signpost to Krieglach on the right. Turn off here and then turn right again at the next junction. At the Alpl crossroads, turn left onto the main square. Follow Pestalozzistraße for approx. 200 metres and then turn right into the Pestalozzi car park.
We start our tour in the centre of Krieglach and ride over the Mürzbrücke bridge, after which we turn right onto the Mürztal cycle path R5 (Sommerstraße). We follow the R5 - past the crossroads into Massing and onto Malleisten and the summer settlement - and finally turn left in the area of the golf course/ Feistritz Castle. This path leads us steadily uphill to the Feistritzberg.
The Langenwanger Au, which is on the way, is worth a visit: take a short ‘detour’ into the floodplain, which offers still water areas and alluvial forest as part of a near-natural hydraulic engineering project.
