382 Cycle tour "Sportpanorama"

Although Bad Hall is not "built on hills", it is surrounded by them - to the south they become real mountains, to the north they taper off gently - there is no flat land like around Lake Neusiedl, but there are magnificent panoramic views from the heights into the wide open countryside.

The whole thing can not only be viewed, but also cycled - we start the tour via Steinersdorf to Waldneukirchen, down the country road and immediately 2.3 km up to the Hohe Linde with the finest view at a good 550 m above sea level ... That's as good as it gets today!

On to Hallerwald, down to Adlwang, steadily up to the ridge of the Kremstal border with the "tree in the middle of the forest" - that's the next section in a nutshell. After Kremsmünster, the route is downhill, through the floodplain to Rohr the headwind is a problem at most, the rest of the route requires a little more "climbing power" again on varied sections in Neukematen and Furtberg.

If you don't want to do the whole loop in one go, there are plenty of refreshment stops, and if the "Hohe Linde" seems too hard, take the gentle shortcut directly from the centre of Waldneukirchen ... Let's go, the journey is the reward!
