Rastlandradweg R15
The cycle path leads us from Selzthal, through which the Ennsradweg R7 also runs, in a southerly direction through the Palten and Liesing valleys. The cycle path is mostly on side roads and separate cycle paths, as well as through the village centres.
Until Wald am Schoberpaß,the gateway to the Liesingtal, the route is partly uphill, therfore cyclists need to be in good shape.
From Wald am Schoberpaß onwards, the route follows the run of the Liesing, always slightly downhill, past the popular adventure excursion destination "Der Wilde Berg - Mautern", to the cycling hub of St. Michael in Upper Styria. The municipality of St. Michael lies directly on the popular Murradweg R2.

More information
From Graz/Vienna via the A9 exit Rottenmann. Take the B113 back to Selzthal. The car can be parked at the station. From here it is also only a short way to the starting point of the R15.
After Rottenmann and Trieben, we head towards Gaishorn. Past the Gaishorn recreational lake, the route continues slightly uphill to Wald am Schoberpass. Here, too, the recreational lake Wald am Schoberpaß is a good place to cool off on a hot sunny day.
From Wald am Schoberpaß, the trail leads a short distance along the B116 - Schoberpaß federal road to Kalwang and Mautern. Two bathing lakes, as well as the Alpenbad Mautern along the route invite you to take a cool dip on hot days. For families but also for animal lovers, Wilder Berg Mautern is a highlight of the region. A stopover in Wahlfahrtskirche Mautern is certainly also well worth seeing.
Along the south side of the motorway we reach Kammern im Liesingtal. Now the route runs alongside meadows and fields to Traboch and on to St. Michael in Obersteiermark.
St. Michael in Obersteiermark is a cycling and transport hub and is also suitable for the Park+Ride options, as an entry point for the return journey to Selzthal or as a stopover before continuing cycling on the Murradweg R2.
