Round tour Eppenstein - Amering

This cycle tour in the Murtal region leads from the parking lot of the Eppenstein castle ruins cycle junction 37 R towards Obdach. After the Schaffer sawmill, you cross the busy main road at the former Wegscheider inn and continue uphill through the Schwarzenbachgraben to St. Georgen. Here you could also shorten this tour and ride directly to Kathal. Otherwise, turn left at the church and continue downhill to Amering, where experienced mountain bikers can ride up a very long fort road to the popular Weißensteinhütte at 1542m. From Amering it is a leisurely descent to Obdach where there are many opportunities for a leisurely rest. Behind the Raiffeisenbank and the senior citizens' house, the cycle tour leads along the R26 along the Granitzenbach back via Kathal to Eppenstein.

On the way back just before Eppenstein (opposite the tennis court), you can cycle uphill to the popular Korer wine tavern.

In Obdach there are great places to stop for refreshments as well as the unique "Eisdrogerie" and an information stand for the Murtal tourist region in the Spar Mandl farmers' and gourmet store.
