By bicycle from Graz to Seiersberg

Roll out from Graz, Austria’s easygoing second city, with its UNESCO‑listed old town and the Schlossberg clock tower keeping watch. Head south on well‑signed bike paths toward Seiersberg. It’s about 11.6 km and basically flat—just a whisper of climbing with a gentle net descent.

You’ll spend most of the ride on dedicated cycleways (about 70%), with the rest on quiet and access roads. Surfaces are overwhelmingly smooth and paved (around 94% asphalt), with only the odd short stretch of gravel or unpaved bits—totally fine for a city or touring bike. Expect a relaxed spin through suburban edges and green pockets as Graz eases into the outskirts.

Seiersberg (part of Seiersberg‑Pirka) sits just southwest of Graz and is known for Shopping City Seiersberg and easy links back into town. Perfect for a quick out‑and‑back, a coffee run from the old town, or a gentle recovery ride.
