Author’s recommendation

Contains a section where cycling is prohibited.

Here you will have to dismount and push.

A small 'detour' to the Almbauer is worth it! At the highest mountain farm in the Mürztal there is a snack station in the middle of the picturesque landscape of the Waldheimat!

Turn-by-turn directions

We start our tour in the center of Langenwang and cycle on the Grazer Straße in the direction of Krieglach. At the Schwöbing junction on the B 306b we continue cycling into the Langenwanger Schwöbing towards Alpl. At a sharp right turn we turn left into the Traibachgraben. This path leads us in a slight ascent along the ditch. The last 3 km up to the Hauereck are somewhat steeper and more impassable.
