The namesake of the 7-day cycling pilgrimage route concludes the week with a relatively strenuous stage. However, it is of course up to everyone to ride the individual stages in a different order. From Weyer and Gaflenz, the route first goes along the Eisenwurzenradweg R16 to Waidhofen and then well marked along the "Ybbstalradweg" to Opponitz – the most beautiful section of the entire Ybbstalradweg with many bathing options – and further on to Kleinhollenstein. After "Bettys Platzl" turn right, then immediately left onto the B31 and after 150m turn right again towards Weyer. After about 2 km, the old Saurüsselstraße turns left uphill to Pichlhöhe and then downhill to the road maintenance yard in Weyer. Then sharply right uphill into the Breitenau to the junction, continue left (Heiligenstein sign) to the Ortner farm, then right, where it gets steep twice over about 2 km and then rather flat until reaching Heiligenstein (782 m). Easily passable with an e-bike, otherwise there are short sections where pushing the bike is necessary. Please park and lock the bike 100 meters after the barrier at the bike parking area. The last few meters have to be covered on foot. Alternatively, the short Heiligenstein loop can be chosen: Either from Weyer via the road maintenance yard (left turn) through the Breitenau to the Heiligenstein with return via Gaflenz to Weyer, or from Gaflenz first to Weyer, then left at the road maintenance yard via Breitenau to Heiligenstein and back to Gaflenz. **Safety guidelines:** Please note: for environmental protection reasons, extensive signage has largely been omitted along the route. Map and GPX data provide the necessary security. **Equipment:** Bicycle helmet, first aid kit for rider and bicycle [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Starting place:** 3335 Weyer **Destination:** 3335 Weyer **duration:** 4h 49m **length:** 60,9 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 675m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 674m **Lowest point:** 358m **Highest point:** 775m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Some Views **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Path / trail, Gravel, Street, Other **Starting point:** Gaflenz/Weyer **Destination:** Gaflenz/Weyer **further information:** - Circular route - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile 7 Sebaldusrunde Heiligenstein - The Wonderful](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430009009&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile 7 Sebaldusrunde Heiligenstein - The Wonderful](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430009009&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "7 Sebaldusrunde Heiligenstein - The Wonderful") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
