Runs along the old railway line to Großhabersdorf and Unternbibert, therefore only moderate incline, very pleasant to ride

Runs mostly along the former "Bibert-Bärbel" railway line to Unternbibert. The route was decommissioned in the eighties and converted into a cycle path. Therefore, there are no major inclines or declines.
