We start our cycle tour at Sitft Vorau and ride in the direction of Masenberg. First we cycle downhill until we reach the Brühl after approx. 100 meters, but immediately afterwards there is a steep uphill section to Gasthof Glatz "Kagerwirt" in Puchegg. We continue cycling on an asphalt road towards Masenberg. After a section through a wooded area and on gravel roads, we reach the crossroads on the Masenberg. Here we can make a detour to the Masenberg or to the wind turbines and the "Olmstoll". The Glückskapelle chapel awaits us at the summit of the Masenberg. However, we stay on the local road and continue until we reach the former Lembäcker inn. We reach the municipality of Vornholz via a short forest path and a section on the main road. On the country road, we immediately turn left and make a detour to "Chrizzly's Hütte". We could also take a break here and play a game of mini golf. Then we follow the municipal road until we come back to Markt Vorau and could return to the starting point. However, we cycle on through the market to the town hall, cross the archway and head towards Riegersberg. We cycle past the Brennerwirt inn to the Forsterhöhe and make a short stop at the Hubertus Chapel. Then we make our way to the next cider tavern, the "Kuchlbauer". From here it is not far back to our starting point, Vorau Abbey.
