We start our cycle tour at Sitft Vorau and ride in the direction of Masenberg
First we cycle downhill until we reach the Brühl after approx. 100 meters, but immediately afterwards there is a steep uphill section to Gasthof Glatz “Kagerwirt” in Puchegg
We continue cycling on an asphalt road towards Masenberg
After a section through a wooded area and on gravel roads, we reach the crossroads on the Masenberg
Here we can make a detour to the Masenberg or to the wind turbines and the “Olmstoll”. The Glückskapelle chapel would be waiting for us at the summit of the Masenberg
However, we stay on the local road and continue until we reach the former Gasthof Lembäcker inn
We reach the municipality of Vornholz via a short forest path and a section on the main road
On the main road, we immediately turn left and make a detour to “Chrizzly's Hütte”. We could also take a break here and play a game of mini golf
We then follow the municipal road until we come back to Markt Vorau and could return to the starting point
However, we cycle on through the market to the town hall, cross the archway and head towards Riegersberg
We cycle past the Brennerwirt inn to the Forsterhöhe and make a short stop at the Hubertus Chapel
Then we continue on our way to the next cider tavern, the “Kuchlbauer”
From here it is not far back to our starting point, Vorau Abbey
