Vorberg Road Bike Loop
easy Road Cycling · Ramsau am Dachstein
The trail leads through the charming village of Ramsau and continues towards Vorberg. From there, a fast descent takes you down to Pichl.
In Pichl, the route follows the Enns Cycling Path, which runs flat along the Enns River. Once the gravel road begins, take a left turn, cross the Enns bridge and the railway tracks, and then turn right.

Afterward, you'll reach the Hochstraße, a road that offers breathtaking panoramic views of Schladming and the Planai. Schladming is the perfect spot for a short break to recharge.
From Schladming, the route climbs through Birnberg and continues to Leiten before finally returning to the starting point in Ramsau.
