Schirchleralm Tour - We only have to want...

• From the starting point at the church in Eibiswald, start in a northerly direction, up to the Buschenschank Pichlippi and switch over to Haiden on the Kowaldhöhe.
• Pass the Peiserhof winery and descend to Vordersdorf via a casual gravel road downhill.In Vordersdorf, the climb up to Hochmasser begins. It is advisable not to waste your energy on this first section of the long climb up to the Schirchleralm. Instead, enjoy the wonderful view to the southwest to the Kapun Ridge, to Greith and over to Eichberg-Trautenburg.
• After the Hochmasser inn, the route enters a very varied gravel section with two super-steep ramps, each with a gradient of more than 20 percent. Here you need good legs or a strong battery. The good thing is that the stitches are not too long and there is a flat section in between that allows for a short breather.
• The reward follows after these "drudge sections" in the form of a new panorama across to the Buchenberg and the Soboth. Motto: Let it work.
• At the Glockenwirt, the mountain bike tour turns into the L650 state road, which leads up to St. Anna. After about one kilometre, however, the route turns right into Garanas. A short downhill gives your legs, which may already be a little tired, a short rest.Whereby: It is a good idea to look for a spot in this section through the Garanas valley, to treat yourself to a little more rest and let this wonderful area take its effect on you.In the last part of the long ascent, the bike tour leads from Garanas via the Schmuckbauerwirt to the Schirchleralm.
• After the obligatory break in the alpine pasture, it goes back to the Schmuckbauerwirt, past the waterfall of the White Sulm and Koch's berries down into the Wiel and out to Wielfresen.
• Here it is worth taking a detour to the winner of "9Places 9Treasures" - the Strutz Mühle - Austria's most beautiful place 2020.
• Continue through the courtyard of the Buschenschank Haubensima down to Wernersdorf and from there via Pörbach and past the Gasthof Filatsch back to Eibiswald.

At Wielfresen, take a detour to the Strutz Mühle - Austria's most beautiful place 2020.
