Route description Stages: Amstetten > Neuhofen > Seitenstetten > Haag > Erla > Wallsee > AmstettenLength: 110 kmSurface: Almost entirely paved secondary roadsTraffic: Almost continuously little to no traffic, although some sections on slightly busier roadsSignage: own markers with red line or red pearStarting from the station in Amstetten, the route runs the first 8 km through Allersdorf and southwards to Euratsfeld, mostly flat. Then it continues slightly hilly to Neuhofen an der Ybbs. Shortly before Neuhofen, after about 14 km, a stop at the RelaxResort Kothmühle is recommended.From Neuhofen, you cycle on a flat section to the west, continuing over Kröllendorf, where you cross the Ybbs river. The section between Kröllendorf, Abetzdorf near Kematen, and Biberbach is somewhat hillier again, but there are no significant climbs.Shortly after Biberbach, there is a short climb to the highest point of the tour (398 m) before continuing towards Seitenstetten and St. Peter/Au. If you have time, you should make a stop at the historic courtyard garden of the Seitenstetten Abbey before continuing to Weistrach. In this Mostkirtag community, about half of the Most cycle route is completed.From Weistrach, the Most cycle route leads again gently uphill and downhill alternately to the north to the animal park community of Haag. Especially for families who only cycle one stage of the route, a visit to the zebras, meerkats, and co. is recommended.From Haag, the route continues northwards to St. Valentin, then follows a short climb with a descent to Erla. From Erla, it rolls flat further east to Wallsee, from kilometer 84 parallel to the Danube. At km 90, the route leaves the Danube, but the continuation to Ardagger is also very flat.The last section of the route from Ardagger Markt via Ardagger Stift and Viehdorf is somewhat hillier again, until the endpoint at the station in Amstetten is reached after nearly 112 km.
