A beautiful bike path with great rest areas. The section between Ratten and Birkfeld and Anger to Stubenberg is perfect for families! (Please note: there is no bike path between Birkfeld and Koglhof.)

If you are on the first part of the R8 "Feistritztal Radweg" cycle path, you should take the time to stop and study the lovingly designed board about the history of the railway and the cycle path.
