Here the Eisenwurzen route continues to Waidhofen an der Ybbs. Sections with heavier motorized traffic are marked with signs: Weyer - Gaflenz Signage: R16 (as part of the Upper Austria state cycling network). For the experienced cyclist! **Tip:** **New Route Section** Between Weyer and Gaflenz there is a new route section near Neudorf. The great advantage is that you no longer have to ride on the federal road, but on the new cycle path. Since this cycle path is still new, it cannot yet be shown on the map. However, this section is very easy to find on the bike tour. **Safety guidelines:** Inquire in advance about any path and road closures along the route. **Equipment:** Sun and rain protection, repair kit for minor bike punctures. **Additional information:** Maps are available at www.steyr-nationalpark.at [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** R16 **Starting place:** 3335 Weyer **Destination:** 3333 Waidhofen an der Ybbs **duration:** 1h 4m **length:** 14,2 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 136m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 29m **Lowest point:** 372m **Highest point:** 509m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Individual Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Street, Hiking trail, Other **Starting point:** Gaflenz **Destination:** Weyer **further information:** - Multi-day tour [ ![Altitude profile Eisenwurzen Cycle Path R16](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001283&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Eisenwurzen Cycle Path R16](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430001283&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Eisenwurzen Cycle Path R16") [ Along the trail ](#ttgCollapseAnDerStrecke) ----------------------------------------------- ![](https://assets.tourdata.at/660x495/385689/A48C8A23EBC0D4443EB6703AC680065010BC05237E249D22D228CB274E4076A3/jpg.jpg) Berufsbildende Schulen Weyer Berufsbildende Schulen Weyer Die berufsbildenden Schulen Weyer (HLW = Höhere Lehran­stalt für wirtschaftliche Berufe, HLT = Höhere Lehranstalt für Tourismus, HF = Hotelfachschule) ermöglichen dir eine auf deine individuellen Bedürfnisse abgestimmte Ausbildung und vermitteln dir viele notwendige Kompetenzen, die sowohl für dein Berufsleben als auch für dich persönlich hilfreich sind.
