Trip Summary

We started this bike trip near Medauhof, between Ödlitz and Berndorf. From there, we first descended towards Pottenstein an der Triesting, where we changed over to the other side of the valley. From there, we entered the long and nice Grabenweg-valley, which leads up to the saddle Am Hals at its very end. Mostly, this road is leading gently upwards, but at its very end, it becomes a little steeper and a nice challenge for cyclists, not talking here about challenges, which aggressive drivers occasionally impose on those on two wheels! On the other side of the saddle, we clearly enjoyed a longer and faster descent into the valley, which brings on out to Perniz. There, we basically turned left (into eastern direction) and followed the Piesting for quite a while on its way out of the mountains. At about Waldegg, we had the chance to leave the main road and continue along secondary roads on the left side of the valley until Markt Piesting. There, we took another turn to the left, ascending to another saddle, Auf dem Hart, in order to get over and back to Berndorf in the north. Descending towards Berndorf on the northern side of the saddle was then quick and easy, bringing us back the Triesting. To conclude, we just crossed the Triesting and ascended the short stretch back up to Medauhof.
