Wonderful section of the Feistritztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On this section, the cycle path leads through beautiful nature and often directly along the banks of the Feistritz, far away from noisy roads. There is also a rest area that invites you to take a break in idyllic surroundings.
