Along the way, quaint kiosks invite you to take a break - perfect for a coffee or a snack. On the way back, the landscape opens up again: rolling hills, wide fields and wonderful views of the upper Mühlviertel, where you can relax and let the day roll by. A perfect mix of flow, nature and far-reaching views - a gravel tour that will make your heart and legs equally happy.
