Open

The tasteful, leisurely bike tour around Passail in the Almenland Nature Park, past farm shops, excursion destinations and with plenty of places to stop for refreshments.

Along this circular route around Passail, the tables are naturally also set at the inns for a stop. But what makes the route special are the many businesses along the route that dedicate themselves with much love and skill to regional products - from honey, herbs and eggs to cheese. Many of the producers also let you look over their shoulders as they work. So it is the agricultural producers with their range of products in the farm shops that make this tour special. So that the best regional products are also on the table at home!

This cycle tour leads around the Passailer Kessel, past "tasty" excursion destinations, from beekeeping to cheese galleries. The starting point Passail is the shopping centre in the region and also has a sporting offer with the golf course or the leisure centre. The bathing pond at the leisure centre is recommended for relaxation after the bike tour.

The "Tischlein deck Dich" bike tour (between the Schober and Kriechenlee inns) leads directly past Schroeder's herb workshop with its show garden. All cyclists are cordially invited to a free herbal juice from the self-service bar!

The route is asphalted throughout, but there are always small inclines, so it is more comfortable to cycle on an e-bike.
