Bergland - Strecke

From the sports ground you first ride past the cardiovascular center and the Pletzensiedlung towards Hypolz. From the ascent after the town, called Pulverturm, you have a nice view back to Groß Gerungs.

From Hypolz it continues along the Zwettl and then uphill to Freitzenschlag. From here the path leads past individual farms, meadows, fields and through forest areas via Kotting Nondorf back to Freitzenschlag, where you can again gaze over the town.

Afterwards follows a steep ascent over Moltern and the Fichtner and a longer forest path towards Wiesenfeld, from where you finally continue via Griesbach to Kamp. Here a visit to the hammer smithy is recommended.

After a short section on the federal road, you pass the "Red Cross" onto asphalt and field paths downhill to Griesbach, and then uphill to Antenfeinhöfen. Asphalt, field and small forest paths alternate. It is never tiring, but also never really restful. You should take your time to enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Arriving at the highest point of the route, it goes slightly downhill to Kleinpertholz. After the counter ascent, which is sprinkled with nice viewpoints, you face a fast descent into the Zwettl valley. Passing the Klaus chapel (a power arena place), which can be reached via a footbridge, you continue to Klausmühle and via Klein Reinprechts back to the starting point at the sports ground.
