Tour through apple country

This challenging tour leads from Weiz through the beautiful apple country along apple orchards to Albersdorf. From there you can cycle comfortably back to Weiz on the R11
There are wine taverns along the route that invite you to take a break. Almost the entire route leads along side roads with little traffic.

This tour is only recommended for cyclists in good physical condition as there are over 700 meters of altitude to conquer.
