Steep section near Kapfenburg

Highlight • Climb

Shared bike and footpath...
This is the strenuous section of the climb to Kapfenburg and is underestimated by many cyclists.
Nevertheless, I am grateful to every cyclist who takes this route instead of the winding road.

Fuchsmühle

Highlight • Settlement

You can walk around the Fuchsmühle from different sides. If you are lucky and stay in one place for a while, you can watch the deer from afar.

Kapfenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schloss Kapfenburg is located on a sprawling ridge above the village of Lauchheim. The strategic location gave the castle, which existed in front of the castle, its name very early (\ "Kapfen \" means view). Over the centuries, the complex was dominated by the architectural style of the Teutonic Order. Constant alterations and additions allowed the castle to grow and become a large, representative, impressive palace complex.

The ascent is on foot or by bike sweaty, but quite to create. At the end you will be compensated with a great view and a very nice facility.

The starting point was the Hülen Süd hiking car park.
On the way to the Wildschützhütte, I met @Emma ISt., who accompanied me for a short distance.
Thanks again for the water for Rica.
It was nice to meet you.
