Route description Loich panoramic route
From Loich station in Dobersnigg, the route leisurely follows a few hundred meters along the Pielach, then turn right and after the railway crossing again right, along the access road. The sweat-inducing climb leads to the high-altitude farms, where the first views of the surroundings can already be enjoyed. The descent leads into the castle area, turn right at the intersection and follow the access road. After about 1.5 km, the next climb begins to Hof Burgstall. The magnificent view compensates for the strenuous climb. After Hof Burgstall, first turn right onto a forest road and then follow the narrow forest path down into the Schwarzgraben and to the main road. For a short time, the Loichbach accompanies towards the south, then turn right and the next climb begins, initially following the access road Ödgegend, then turn right to the Günther chapel, from where Ötscher appears so close. A forest road goes around the Schnabelstein, one of the most beautiful sections of the route. At the end of the forest road, a steep, narrow, and rocky descent (only for experienced mountain bikers) leads to the access road Klein Holzsteig and after the effort, enjoy the descent down to Loich and back to the station.
