Description

Your heart will beat faster, not only because of the breathtaking scenery, but also because of the sporting challenge on this 51 km long route with 631 meters of elevation gain.

The Nature Treasure Tour is particularly rewarding for those who like to push themselves, but also for those who prefer to travel by e-bike. This is because the beauty of nature can be enjoyed to the full at both high and low heart rates. The feeling of freedom on two wheels through picturesque valleys and green forests is unparalleled.

Route description The route takes you along the Danube Cycle Path to Persenbeug-Gottsdorf, further to Ysperdorf, and then turns towards the Ysper Valley. Part of the route follows the Ysper Valley Cycle Path, and via Münichreith you reach Hilmanger.There, the efforts of the route are rewarded with a wonderful view of Maria Taferl, the Danube valley, and the Alpine foothills, before returning to Marbach.
Parking There are sufficient parking spaces on the Danube waterfront in Marbach.
