Cycling Fun Along the Raab

The Raab Valley Bike Trail is one of the most beautiful river bike trails in Styria and runs from the source of the Raab in the Almenland Nature Park Almenland Jennersdorf in Burgenland. Along the route, you’ll find idyllic river landscapes, charming towns, and numerous attractions—from the Grassl Cave and Almenland in Arzberg to the historic old town of Weiz and the rolling hills of the Thermen- und Vulkanland region.

After the first challenging climb, the route is mostly flat and is particularly well-suited for leisure cyclists, families, and e-bike riders. Cozy places to stop for a break, regional specialties, and diverse natural scenery make the Raab Valley Bike Trail a special experience for anyone who wants to combine exercise with enjoyment.
