Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 5 (3 reviews)

Here the world is still in order, orchards, lots of forest and the flair of borderland accompany you on these paths.

Hungary and Slovenia are often within reach (border triangle in the area of Oberdrosen/Tauka). Here you are at the southernmost tip of Burgenland and you can feel it. This bike path is recommended for sporty cyclists.

Route planer

At the start at the thermal spa, turn right until you reach a crossroads - turn right again at this crossroads in the direction of Gillersdorf/Golfplatz. After about 200m you will see the sign "Paradiesroute Südburgenland". Follow this signposting to the right to and through Jennersdorf and then to St. Martin. From St. Martin you are now on the B 70 cycle path and follow the corresponding signs. You now pass through the villages of Doiber, Gritsch and Welten on little-used municipal roads. Just before the end of the village, turn left in the direction of Hirzenriegel/Mühlgraben. The origin of the name Neuhauser Hügelland becomes apparent from here on. After about 10 km you reach the village of Neuhaus. Continue in the direction of Kalch and Tauka to the border triangle of Austria, Slovenia and Hungary. Via Oberdrosen you return to St. Martin. Turn right here and take the same route as at the beginning via Neumarkt to Jennersdorf. From here, follow the signs "Paradiesroute Südburgenland" - this leads back to the spa.

In the area between Tauka and Oberdrossen, a short detour to the actual intersection of the 3 countries pays off.
