Knittelfeld-Gaal zu den Almhütten Almstüberl und Steinwenderhütte

A cycle tour to the foot of the Gaal mountains to two alpine huts where you can enjoy good alpine specialities.
From Knittelfeld via Sachendorfer Gasse to Gaaler Strasse and out of town on the main road to Sachendorf. Continue on the Sachendorfer Landesstraße. (signposted cycle path 4 named after one of Austria's best cyclists Rudi Mitteregger. Along the Ingering stream, a narrow asphalt road with little traffic leads off to the left at the Braunwirt estate to Schattenberg and into the district of Ingering II (beautiful view of the Gaal mountains Ringkogel and Hochreichart). We reach the imposing Wasserberg Castle and cycle via the village of Gaal into the Gaalgraben.
