Hochosterwitz tour

You start your bike route at Stift St. Georgen and cycle at the foot of the Otwinskogel mountain to Fiming. Downhill it goes via Reipersdorf to Niederosterwitz. The widely visible Hochosterwitz Castle, perched on the rock, is circled on the west side; via St. Sebastian, Maigern, and St. Martin you reach the Gurk power plant. The bridges over the Gurk canal lead you further to Gosseling, Polling, and Weindorf. After Stammerdorf, you come to another Gurk power plant and soon afterwards turn sharply left into the Wolschart Forest. On a gravel road, you pass the church of Maria Wolschart. In the village of Drasendorf, you have reached the Längsee lake again, and after a short stretch on Drasendorfer Street on the east shore of the lake, you have arrived back at the starting point. You can relax in the spacious monastery gardens or refresh yourself with food and drink in the monastery restaurant.
