Description
We start in the "Urltal", over the climbs to the Christophorus helicopter landing site and the Grestner Höhe further downhill to Gresten. Continue straight on here until you reach the junction to Reinsberg after 3km. Turn right onto the L6155.
A 3km long ascent begins immediately after passing through Reinsberg. This is followed by a descent with a few bends, some of which are confusing - be careful!
In the valley, we turn right at the junction with the L92 towards Gresten, but soon turn sharp left again towards "Zellhof" on the L6169. After 1km, turn right towards Maria Seesal for a really steep 2km climb - perfect for mountain bikers!
The following descent has the nickname "100er-Berg" and requires full concentration with almost 20% downhill on a dead straight road. Personal top speeds are not uncommon here, but ATTENTION: after the steep forest section it gets more winding -> brake!
Via Ybbsitz and the B22, the route finally rolls briskly back to Waidhofen.
