Out of the city, onto the bike!
Sometimes you just need to get away from the urban hustle and bustle, right? The Graz experience region makes it really easy for us cyclists. Here, city and countryside connect so directly that you glide from the asphalt straight into the gentle hills, before a tram at the main square reminds you who has the right of way. Whether along the Mur, through the Graz hill country, or up towards Schöckl – the selection is huge, and the mild climate allows us to pedal almost all year round.
Especially if you want to take it easy, the 18 signposted pleasure bike tours are a real hit. Many of them start right in Graz or are easily accessible by train. There’s something for everyone, from flat river bike paths to sporty climbs. And don’t worry, we won’t send you up the Schlossberg on your bike – there are other, nicer challenges for that.
Two tours for connoisseurs
Today we’ll take a look at two particularly fine routes that lead you through the cultural landscapes around Graz:
Hügelland Tour 733: This tour is classified as “medium” with 46 kilometers and 400 meters of elevation. Perfect for seeing a bit of the region while still having enough breath left for a stop.
Schmankerl Tour 734: If the name is already a program, then here it is! Over 38 kilometers and 330 meters of elevation, you’ll cycle through the area that will surely invite you to a well-deserved break with regional delicacies. This tour is also marked as “medium.”
These pleasure bike tours are ideal for combining movement, great views, and the obligatory stop in a completely natural way. The “Schmankerl Tour” is a prime example, but the “Flair des Südens” tour also promises a successful mix of landscape and enjoyment.
Comprehensive service for cyclists
To ensure your bike trip is truly relaxing, there’s plenty of service in the Graz experience region: You can rent a bike at Graz main train station if your own has a flat tire or if you arrived without a bike. You’ll also find Bett+Bike accommodations if you want to be on the road longer, as well as a practical tour portal and a virtual 360° bike experience world for planning. This way, every tour can be perfectly prepared before the headwind in Graz shows you again who apparently belongs to the bike path network.
So, grab your bike or e-bike and discover the Graz experience region. It’s well known that it helps to lead a good life!
