August 14, 2024,Rumgegurkt im Gurktal 😵‍💫

Day 4:
Yesterday the bobblehead 😱 today the bike. 😎 That's the deal. 😇 Yesterday evening I discovered this route. However, it would have continued from Pisweg to Weitensfeld. But we went straight down from Pisweg to Gurk. 😅
The descent along the Gurk was great. Then it continued seemingly endlessly along the expressway. The first moderate climb towards Überfeld/Kraig. …

One of my favorite tours. A very beautiful area with great views far into the country. A strenuous climb to Pisweg and a rapid descent to Weitensfeld. Strange place names for my collection, such as: Grua, Psein, Gruska, Sutsch, Krön or Finsterdorf....And then the Gurktal cycle path from Weitensfeld to Zwischenwässern, mostly slightly downhill...great!
