Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 4 (2 reviews)

The Auenberg-Radlpass tour is a classic Mounatinbike round trip and probably the most beautiful route up the Radlpass and back.

From Eibiswald via Aibl on one side of the Radlpass road over the Auenberg to the Radlpass and on the other side via the fantastic Römerweg back to Eibiswald. In between, on the first half of the tour, there is a wonderful climb over the Auenberg, fantastic views of the Kapuner Kogel, a short single trail past "Luis' Büro" and finally a super awesome gravel section down to the Radlpass (take your passport with you). On the second half, the tour rolls pleasurably - with a short steep intermediate climb - via the Römerweg and Stammeregg back to Eibiswald. Unique views down to Eibiswald included. In a nutshell: Starting from Eibiswald, probably the most beautiful route to the Radlpass and back.
