Quick ride by bicycle from Graz to Gösting

This ride takes you from the vibrant heart of Graz to the more laid-back suburb of Gösting. Starting near Graz’s historic center—famous for its red rooftops and the iconic Schlossberg—you’ll pedal northwest along mostly smooth, paved cycleways, so it’s super beginner-friendly. The route is around 8.5 km, with a gentle climb of just over 100 meters—enough to get your legs working but not too tough.

You’ll pass through residential neighborhoods and a few peaceful streets, catching views of the Mur river along the way. Almost the whole journey is on dedicated cycle paths or quiet roads, making it ideal if you’re looking to avoid heavy traffic.

When you reach Gösting, take a quick detour to check out the ruins of Gösting Castle perched above the district—it's a great spot to pause and soak in the views back over Graz. This route is perfect for a relaxing afternoon spin or an easy commute between city and suburb!
