Speilbrunner path (Speilbrunnerweg)
Open
A circular tour with a short ascent. The reward is a panoramic view of the landscape. Culinary rewards are available at the Buschenschank Kober or Café Idylle.
A circular tour with many beautiful views of the landscape. Along the path next to the Safen, a small stream in the thermal spa community of Bad Blumau, you can enjoy the rippling of the water. Later, there is a small ascent to overcome. There are always benches to rest on along the way. Enjoy the many beautiful moments in nature. It is not a remote tour and yet there is little traffic and smaller villages are nearby.
From Bad Blumau, the route heads towards Speilbrunn. Here you can take a short diversions to visit the ‘Maria Brunn’ forest grotto. The water is said to have a healing effect on the eyes. In any case, a little cooling is guaranteed. You can also observe sheep, horses and pigs in their enclosures along the way. Finally, you are rewarded with a view of Rogner Bad Blumau, designed by artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. It is the largest inhabitable work of art.

We start at the parking lot of the thermal baths Rogner Bad Blumau
www.blumau.com.
From the largest habitable Gesamtkunstwerk, designed by the artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, we head north to the small village of Schwarzmannshofen. Here we take a leisurely walk along the Safenbach stream to the geomantic stone. We turn right and cross the state road.
At the next crossing we turn left along fields until we reach the village of Speilbrunn after crossing the railroad line. In the center of the village we have to decide if we want to visit the forest grotto "Maria Brunn" in Speilbrunn. To the right we continue along the "Speilbrunnerweg" on our tour. Here we take a short rest at the bench at the end of Speilbrunn before the ascent.
Afterwards we overcome the ascent. At the top we can turn left and visit the Buschenschank Kober (note opening times, as it is not open all year round) and taste the excellent wines and the Styrian snack. Thus strengthened, we continue in the direction of Kleinsteinbach. Here the bike rolls downhill without much effort. In Kleinsteinbach at the first intersection to the left and then to the right, here we have the thermal baths Rogner Bad Blumau again in the field of vision and go straight along a side path and then turn right to the spa parking = starting point.
A short detour also takes you to
Cafe Idylle in Kleinsteinbach. And you can enjoy an ice cream or a cooling beer on the terrace with a view of the thermal spa.
