Via Natura cycle path stage 3

Over 15 km, we get to know the landscape of the Zirbitzkogel-Grebenzen Nature Park better and discover some natural gems.

Far away from the main road, you can really enjoy the landscape of Neumarkt. The Grasluppteich pond invites you to linger and rest - and even cool off on hot summer days. The stage itself offers fantastic views and quiet sections.
