This sporty tour for mountain bikes leads from the bike hub 67 slightly uphill along the stream in the narrow Rachaugraben in the adventure region Murtal in styria to the scenic fish ponds. Here you also have the opportunity to catch your own fish and strengthen yourself before it continues uphill challenging. Always climbing, this beautiful tour leads over the Sonnleitneralm, before it goes downhill through the Rösslergraben back to the starting point.

From the bike junction 67 go left downhill to the intersection and then continue right along the state road through the village of Rachau in the Murtal adventure region in styria. Now continue straight ahead for about 3km on asphalt road into the Rachaugraben to the fish ponds. The Arbeiterfischereiverein Knittelfeld invites all interested people to fish themselves on the weekend or to be helped by the professional fishermen if necessary. Specialties are the smoked trout and char. Especially on hot days it is very refreshing at the fish facilities. Well fortified, the tour now continues uphill via the Sonnleitneralm before heading downhill through the Rösslergraben to the starting point.
