The tour
The 375-metre summit ride begins in Grein, the gateway to the once most feared Danube passage: magnificent views, short climbs and relaxing terraces offer pure cycling pleasure through a cultivated mountain landscape! Cycle over two panoramic mountain ridges to the mystical Mondstein (600 m), the highest point of this tour! Bad Kreuzen invites you to regenerate. After a detour into the secluded Gießenbachtal valley, the hilly descent takes you back over a ridge to Grein.
