At the beginning of the beautiful Gesaeuse bike tour through the National Park Gesaeuse you get from the district capital Liezen to 20 kilometers further east Admont. The National Park community in the national park is surrounded by the Mountains "Buchstein", "Haller Mauern" and "Gesäuseeingang". In this section of the bike tour Gesaeuse there are only a few small climbs.

Three kilometers after the start in Liezen one has the opportunity to cycle on the Enns bike path until "Frauenberg". The beautiful place of pilgrimage "Frauenberg" is one kilometers after Ardning. And who does not hesitate for a few meters, can make an interesting shortcut at the beautiful sanctuary. In any case, the imposing sanctuary with the beautiful mountains in the background is a very popular photo opportunity. And already a very good place for a first break on the bike tour through the Gesäuse.

We continue Admont to St.Gallen. The first few miles are very flat. In "Weng im Gesäuse" the slope begins to Buchauer saddle. The first easy pass on the Gesaeuse bike tour has a length of approximately 3 kilometers and 213 meters. During the ascent to the saddle Buchauer worth a look back into the beautiful Admonter basin. The descent from the Buchauer saddle to St. Gallen in Styria (-350m) has a couple of corners that can not be driven at full risk. Of interest is the ruins of gallstones, because of his regular cultural events. The market town of St. Gallen belongs to the National Park Gesäuse and the styrian Landscape "Steirische Eisenwurzen".

In the third section of the Gesaeuse bike tour you drive in Styria on the Erbsattel (161 meters) to Hieflau. The last 2 kilometers before the pass Erbsattel are reasonably challenging. After the 6-kilometer descent to Großreifling again follows a small climb up to Kirchenlandl. Even shortly before Hieflau there is a short climb on the Gesaeuse bike tour. By Hieflau back to the starting point of the cycle route in Gesaeuse Liezen there is no pass more, but many small hills with 10 to 50 meters. The journey through Gesaeuse is beautifully landscaped. The road runs directly through the National Park Gesäuse. Along the road through Gesaeuse to Admont there are some parking spaces for hikers, or those who simply want to take a break to learn about the wonderful nature.

The Gesaeuse bike tour is more difficult if you were not going to Liezen from Admont, but over the Kaiserau to Trieben and then goes to Liezen. If you're travelling with a mountain bike you can ride in Hieflau on a marked mountain bike tour in the National Park Gesaeuse on the "Hochscheibenalm MTB - Tour" to Gstatterboden.

              

 
  

 

 
 
 

  
The Ennsvalley is in the middle of Austria and was named after the largest river in the valley. The Enns is a 254 kilometers long tributary of the Danube. It rises in the province of Salzburg in the Radstätter Tauern. From Salzburg the Enns flows eastwards through Styria. Between Admont and Hieflau in Upper Styria, the Enns breaks through a Narrow valley - the Gesäuse in the Ennstal Alps before it flows north to Upper Austria.
