On the saddles, get set, go: Since the connection of the two cycle paths R8 and R31, the Steyrtalradweg is rideable on a length of about 75 kilometers - from the iron city Steyr to Spital am Pyhrn.Directions:
The family bike trail R8 and then further the bike trail R31 nestles close to the Steyr River with its bathing places, rest stops, adventure stations, viewpoints and canyons - from Steyr in the north to Spital am Pyhrn in the south. Due to the largely flat route, the Steyrtal Cycle Path is also very suitable for families.
Once the steam locomotive roared here
The section Untergrünburg - Klaus follows almost continuously the route of the Steyrtalbahn. Today it is operated as a museum railroad between Steyr and Grünburg. From Klaus, the old 210-meter-long railroad bridge was specially adapted for the bike path connection. To make it suitable for cycling, the old wooden sleepers and wooden posts were removed and replaced by a road deck made of profiled sheet metal grates. The Klaus stage mostly passes close to the long reservoir. If you want, you can swim, fish or rent a boat here before reaching the stage destination of Steyrling. Back on the main route, we continue to the St. Pankraz junction, where the newly developed Pyhrn-Priel Panorama branches off. We continue on the R8 to the village, where there is a charging station for e-bikes.
ATTENTION: In St. Pankraz the name and number of the cycle path change!
From now on we ride on the National Park Kalkalpen Radweg R31. Along the Teichl we go through forests and a beautiful valley floor in the direction of Spital am Pyhrn. However, we stay on the main route and pass the station Roßleithen to Windischgarsten. Here you first turn right towards Gleinkersee before turning left towards Spital am Pyhrn.
