The tour begins in Markt Hartmannsdorf (329 m). We start in an easterly direction to the intersection at Oed (316 m). At this intersection turn left uphill towards Obereichberg. It rises to around 415 m above sea level before going downhill again (to around 384 m). On the journey to Pöllau it is quite hilly and you pass the small towns of Minireith (400 m) and Buchreith (approx. 425 m). After Pöllau (360 m) you roll comfortably downhill and rest yourself for the next longer climb of the day. After about 125 meters or 2 kilometers you reach the hill at Hochsetz (484 m). From here it's almost all downhill. You drive through some small towns such as Reith and Kogl. It climbs again briefly to Ungerberg (392 m) and to Geldhof (approx. 355 m).
