We start our cycle tour in the centre of St. Barbara im Mürztal/Mitterdorf and follow the signs to Pichl Castle. Here we cycle past Pichl Castle and turn left at the ‘Rote-Kreuz-Straße’ junction. At the end of ‘Rote-Kreuz-Straße’, we cycle parallel to the main road, accompanied for a large part of the route by the imposing pilgrim cross, which indicates the centre of Veitsch, the village of Veitsch and the Ölberg from afar. We cycle along at a leisurely pace until we reach Dorf Veitsch and then on to Groß Veitsch.
The ‘athletes’ among us now climb the steep section of the Brunnalm road, which leads in serpentines to the Brunnalm. Another sporty option is the ascent from Groß Veitsch via the Pretalgraben to the Pretal Sattel.
