From Dietersdorf bei Fürstenfeld you roll out past Schloss Johnsdorf and Schloss Kornberg, two castles on the way, before Pfeilburg castle follows. Then the Feistritz and Lafnitz rivers guide you along, and the loop closes through the Auwiesen Zickenbachtal nature reserve. With 1127 m of climbing across 97.8 km, mostly on paved surface, it's a ride that keeps unfolding.
