テルニッツの峠・トップ7

マリーエンシュタイクは、ヘレンタールの狭い場所を通り抜け、岩壁に沿って狭く露出した場所を一部たどります。ワイヤーロープが急な箇所を確保していますが、それでも足元の確実さと高所恐怖症でないことが求められます。谷の美しい景色とアルペンの特徴を組み合わせた印象的なルートです。

Very good asphalt - nice for driving down, but also up!

Smooth tarmac, steep gradient, beautiful views but hard to fit in a frame without a wide-angle lens.

That’s where alpine flair comes in!

Wonderfully carved curves in the stone with a great view towards Wiener Neustadt and beyond. In the upper bend there is a small corner where you can stop for a moment and enjoy the view. Downhill you can quickly enjoy the great flow of the curves, but due to the (narrow) road width you should keep oncoming traffic in the corner of your eye. Uphill you are so distracted by the landscape and road layout that you don't think about the incline any further. This is crisper in the ascent before and in the meters after than in the bends themselves.

The Ramssattel connects the Feistritztal with the Schwarzatal in Lower Austria. From Kirchberg it is around 4.5 kilometers and 270 meters in altitude on the saddle, from Gloggnitz it is around eight kilometers and 450 meters in altitude. Both driveways lead up via serpentines. They are comfortable to drive and the road surface is new. Especially steep ramps do not surprise the cyclist. The incline always remains within a comfortable range. Vehicle traffic is not a major problem.

Beautiful, fairly easy driveway. Traffic is limited.

If you want to cross the Semmering quickly and still have many kilometers ahead of you, the busy road is recommended for better or worse. The low-traffic variant is beautiful, a welcome refreshment on hot days, but as the name suggests, it is rather exhausting.
