MTB Tour Vorau – Masenberg, Vorau
Closed
On the MTB trail "The Grand Jogl" you can also complete a short tour up the Masenberg. The starting point is the URKRAFT Arena in Vorau in the Joglland - Waldheimat region.
Starting from the URKRAFT Arena, the route leads to the local mountain of Vorau, the 1261-metre-high Masenberg. Along the route there are also great viewing opportunities, such as the Erzherzog Johann Höhe, and places to stop for refreshments. The panorama at the summit is also well worth seeing.
On this tour you follow the signs of the cycle route "The Grand Jogl", which covers the entire Joglland - Waldheimat region over 187 kilometres. Here you are on a section of it. This is a stretch tour, so the way back from the Masenberg to the starting point is via the same route as the ascent.
