Niederoesterr-steirische Passrunde

Arrival: by train to Payerbach - of course, you can also start from Gloggniz. From here via Preiner Gscheid, Niederalpl, the Styrian Seeberg, the Pretalsattel and finally over the Semmering to Gloggniz.

Nice loop over 5 'passes' in NOE and Stmk. Still largely free of pollution and destruction from 'bike paths' - unfortunately, in the upper Mürztal there is already a legally unclear obstacle in the form of an accompanying path that constantly changes sides and should be avoided as much as possible.

Variation options for climbing and descending at Semmering; here ascent via the old pass road and descent for speed fun on the federal road.
