NP 16c | Bike tour Seidlwinkl Valley in the Rauris Valley

Once there, you turn left onto the main road to Rauris and follow it for almost 3 km.

– ATTENTION: On these 3 km, caution is required due to relatively heavy and fast car traffic! After nearly 3 km, turn right towards Hundsdorf and follow the smaller road uphill through the hamlet and then downhill to the main road. Briefly right on the road, immediately turn left again towards Rauris and follow the road through the lovely mountain village (look forward to your evening walk here, as this is where you spend the night after the stage).

Once back on the main road, the cycle route continues a short distance along the main road towards the warehouse. There begins the especially scenic part of the tour: turn right onto Waidachweg and cycle away from road traffic towards Wörth.

In Wörth opposite the Andrelwirt inn, turn right and enter the natural Seidlwinkl Valley. Here begins probably the most impressive part of the route: on a gently rising, paved road, the path leads into a narrow, romantically wild valley – always accompanied by the calming sound of the Seidlwinkl stream and the untouched beauty of the alpine surroundings.

The small paved road leads to the cozy Weixen country inn, which with regional cuisine, an inviting terrace, and a fish pond directly on the path provides a well-deserved rest.

From the Weixen country inn, the surface of the small road changes from asphalt to gravel. Shortly after, you overcome a steeper section of about 100 meters with a gradient of up to 15%, before the gravel road continues with a gentle incline in a very enjoyable way past the Gollehenalm and the Palfneralm to the ancient Rauriser Tauernhaus.

This is the end of the official cycling route and thus your turning point in the Seidlwinkl Valley is reached. If you feel like it, you can still hike from here to the Litzelhofalm (see also "author tip"), or you can immediately (or after a rustic stop) return by the same way to Rauris.
