Time period: 29.08.2025 - 17.09.2025

Description: a section of stage 1 will be closed from Monday, 01.09.2025, until probably Wednesday, 17.09.2025

The following detour will be in place during this time:

  • Variant 1: From Trattenbach to Reichraming via the Enns cycle path R7

  • Option 2: From Trattenbach to Mösern, back to Wendbach (Ternberg) and then via the R7 to Reichraming

We ask for your understanding that both alternatives are somewhat more complicated than the original route, but they are the best options during the lockdown.

Thank you for your understanding and have a nice journey!

The first stage begins in Steyr and ends in the Reichraming national park community.

Start full of opposites:

From one of the most beautiful historical cities in Austria through the lonely Reichraminger Hintergebirge to the tranquil village of Reichraming
panoramic mountain bike tour

E-Mobility (e-bike rental) Steyr-Historischer Stadtplatz-an der Enns via Garsten, Dürnbach, Ternberg to BHF Trattenbach-Kiesberg-Schneegraben-Geißhanslhütte-Weißenbachl-Dirnbach-Reichraming

Coming from the north, Steyr is, so to speak, the last bastion of urbanity before the lonely primeval worlds of the Kalkalpen and Gesäuse national parks. And what a! The beautiful old town makes it difficult to say goodbye, but what follows is no less beautiful: An idyllic hilly landscape with rural hamlets brings you along the Enns to the Reichraminger Hintergebirge. Suddenly it becomes lonely - it is not for nothing that the mountains are considered the largest closed, practically uninhabited forest area in Austria. Up and downhill, forest roads now lead you through the mountains to Reichraming.
