We start at Spitz train station and ride through the picturesque Miesling valley towards Mühldorf. From there we climb the Bärenwände to enjoy a magnificent view of the Waldviertel. We continue to Wolfenreith to reach the Buschandlwand via enchanting forest and field paths. Finally we reach Wösendorf and enjoy a fantastic view over the vineyards into the Danube valley. Back in Spitz, we cycle to the town's landmark, the Red Gate, and continue along vineyard paths back to the train station. This opens up magnificent views over Spitz with its steep vineyard terraces, the church and the Hinterhaus ruins.
