Complete tour Kapfenberg - Pötschen- GEMYSAG- und 2 Rad Grillstrecke

The overall tour consists of the Pötschentour, the GEMYSAG fitness trail and the 2-bike barbecue route. It is a circular tour in the surrounding mountains of Kapfenberg. The Volkeracho Trail on the Pötschen awaits adrenaline junkies. The connecting routes are well marked and partly on cycle paths. 

The complete tour ‘Pötschen-GEMYSAG & 2-wheel barbecue trail’ starts at the crèche in Kapfenberg and runs uphill past the agricultural school. The route crosses the Keltenweg, passes the Lebenshilfe in Redfeld and starts directly into the second part of the tour, the GEMYSAG fitness trail route of the Lactosan Sportarena Kapfenberg at the Winkl route sign. At the highest point, you pass the Glück farm. Then it's downhill past the Wegscheid Marterl and over the old ski slope back to Winkl, into the fun of the 2-wheel barbecue trail. The route continues to the Url farm in Diemlach and after a challenging ascent of 5 kilometres you reach the Prieselbauer farm and then downhill past the Bergerbauer inn to the end at the motorway roundabout, where you can join the R5 Mürztal cycle path.

Excursion tips: The Oberkapfenberg castle is definitely worth a visit, where you can, for example, take a trip through time with knights and alchemists in the magnificent multi-media exhibition ‘Grenzgänge’. Another absolute highlight is the birds of prey show organised by the castle falconry!

Or relax in the Badewonne Kapfenberg. The 200 m² adventure and wellness pool with a temperature of 32 degrees guarantees a water festival of superlatives with massage jets, whirlpool loungers, a waterfall, swing grotto and fountains. 120 comfortable loungers and an enclosed relaxation area are available to bathers for undisturbed relaxation. A 62 metre long adventure slide is particularly popular with children and the young at heart. Athletes love to dive into the 25 metre sports pool and train their body and fitness. After a hard day's work or training, bathers can relax in the adjoining sauna area or in the solarium. Self-service catering is offered at the Badewonne Kapfenberg. Barrier-free access for people with disabilities and attractive, family-friendly admission prices are a matter of course!

Kapfenberg is embedded in a wonderful natural landscape. The town has also made a name for itself as an international sports and training centre. Despite everything, Kapfenberg attaches great importance to harmony between life and work in an intact environment. Even the ‘original inhabitants’ - the Celts - settled in the town of Kapfenberg and on the Celtic Trail you can perhaps ‘catch a glimpse’ of the world of our ancestors.
