Once the steam locomotive roared here
The section Untergrünburg - Klaus almost continuously follows the track of the Steyrtal railway. Today, this is operated as a museum railway between Steyr and Grünburg. From Klaus, the old 210-meter-long railway bridge was specially adapted for the cycle path connection. To make it suitable for cycling, the old wooden sleepers and posts were removed and replaced by a roadway deck made of sheet metal grates. The stage from Klaus mostly runs close to the elongated reservoir. If you want, you can swim, fish or rent a boat here before reaching the stage destination Steyrling. Back on the main route, it continues to the junction St. Pankraz, where the newly developed Pyhrn-Priel Panorama branches off. We continue on the R8 until you reach the town, where there is a charging station for e-bikes.
ATTENTION: In St. Pankraz, the name and number of the bike path change!
From now on, we ride on the Nationalpark Kalkalpen cycle path R31. Along the Teichl, it goes through forests and a beautiful valley floor towards Spital am Pyhrn. However, we stay on the main route and pass the Roßleithen train station to Windischgarsten. From here, first go right for a bit towards Gleinkersee, then turn left towards Spital am Pyhrn.
