Stodertalrunde R308
The longest circuit in the Pyhrn-Priel cycle network: from Windischgarsten via Rading to Hinterstoder and Vorderstoder and back again – with demanding climbs and fast descents, for trekking bikes and e-bikes just as much as for road bikes.

Start at St. Pankraz or Klaus, 20 to 30 minutes from the house
