Rechberg - Naarntal - Allerheiligen - Raumtischmühle - Windhaag
Asphalt/gravel/forest tracks, some single trails, hardly any pushing sections
There are also various tour suggestions in all municipalities where the mountain bike route runs (see map)
Immediately after the start in the town center of Windhaag, the route leads along Plankstraße, first on asphalt and then on a dirt road down into the valley of the Hausbergbach stream. At the Brandstätter sawmill, you reach the main road and thus the end of the descent. Now turn left along the main road uphill, past the branch church and the museum in Altenburg and a short time later turn left into the valley of the Modlerbach stream.
Here you could roll comfortably along the valley floor for a few kilometers, but the yellow signs soon point mercilessly left uphill over gravel to the "Untersteinböck". Alternating between paved roads and gravel paths, the route continues uphill until we hurtle very steeply downhill from the "Wagner im Joch" on a gravel path and a short, wonderful trail section in the forest into the Modlerbach valley.
On the opposite side, however, the route immediately climbs again on a difficult path up to the village of Kemet and from there another short and steep descent to the Brandstätterbach stream, which is crossed. The following ascent to the "Paukner" can only be completed by very strong bikers on bikes - the rest usually push until they reach the access road to the house. Then continue on asphalt - always climbing steeply - to the Hofberg goods road, where the path turns right. A little later, turn left again down into the forest and from there - a detour to the Saxenegg ruins is possible - an entertaining up and down to the upper reaches of the Käfermühlbach stream. Take the goods road downhill - the area is popularly known as "Überwachs" because of the underground course of the river (buried under huge granite boulders).
At Klein-Auger, the comfortable asphalt road is left again and the long ascent in several stages over more than 300 meters in altitude to St. Thomas is on the program. First steeply uphill in the forest or at the edge of the forest (pushing may be necessary due to steepness/vegetation), later on a good hiking trail and short asphalt passages closer and closer to the pilgrimage church, which is always clearly visible. Finally, past the Heimkehrerkreuz and nature park playground directly into the center of St. Thomas am Blasenstein, where you can recover from the exertions of the last few hours at the Gh. Ahorner.
The following section of the route is also rather "tame", leading from St. Thomas down into the valley of the Käfermühlbach stream and then flat to the north. From there, an ascent over asphalt and gravel leads to the left up the Meisl goods road to the Pammerhöhe, an old place of power. After a flowing descent through the forest towards Rechberg, the ascent to the Großdöllnerhof open-air museum awaits, followed by a steep climb through the forest to the viewing platform on Plenkerberg. With good visibility, the detour to the Karl-Weichselbaumer-Warte is a must! From the Plenkerberg, we cycle along forest paths and residential roads down to Rechberg, where the bathing lake promises cooling on the outside and the two inns offer refreshment on the inside. With a view of the SOS Children's Village, the route leaves the village center on the right and descends on a steep downhill into the "Alter Rehgraben". Before reaching the deeply incised Naarntal valley, the route crosses the main road and climbs steeply up to the village of Spaten. From there, the trail descends into the Naarntal valley, which is reached just above the Aschermühle mill.
Here you can also choose the marked variant up to Hiesbach. However, the main route continues briefly to the left downstream on the Naarntal country road (country cycle path R30), then steeply uphill to the right on a forest path to Dörfl, which already belongs to the municipality of Allerheiligen im Mühlkreis. We reach the village center on the provincial road - again steeply uphill at the end - and enjoy the particularly extensive view, perhaps even from the Schneckenturm of the pilgrimage church.
The following descent - easy to ride and only a little steeper in the last section - leads back down into the Naarntal valley on a varied surface. On the other side, at the power station, the route turns slightly uphill to the right again. Instead of heading towards the already visible Raumtischmühle mill, turn left up the gravel road, which climbs the steep slope in several hairpin bends. After a short breather, your thighs are burning again on the ascent to the "Hundstorfer", before the last few kilometers to the starting point in Windhaag are a real pleasure with less difficulty and a wonderful view.
Nature is always there for us. So it is only fair that we are there for nature too.
Please observe the fair play rules for mountain biking!

Vis-à-vis users
1. The tours presented for hiking, walking, biking and road biking, mountain biking, motorbiking, horseback riding, climbing, cross-country skiing, and going on skiing and snowshoe tours etc. are to be considered non-paid tour recommendations and only serve as non-binding information. We have no intention of concluding a contract with the users of this website. The utilisation of the data does not lead to the establishment of a contract with us.
The data may only be used for private use; any commercial use is prohibited. In particular, it is not permissible to offer the data on commercially run websites, file-sharing platforms etc. or to use it to develop commercial products. Downloading data does not imply that users are granted rights to the data concerned.
The tour recommendations posted were created with utmost care; nevertheless, we assume no liability for the correctness and completeness of the information.
We point out that neither the tour recommendations included on this website nor the associated data and information were posted by us, but rather by third parties (Art. 16 Austrian E-Commerce Act). We have no influence on whether the details provided (e.g. distance, level of difficulty, change in altitude, description etc.) are authentic, correct and complete. We do not review these third-party contents. For this reason, we assume no liability for the authenticity, correctness and completeness of the information.
Construction-related measures or other influences (e.g. landslides and similar occurrences) can lead to temporary or permanent changes in a route (e.g. loss of a bridge and similar occurrences). Such occurrences can lead to part of the route or the entire route becoming impassable.
The use of the data as well as undertaking (riding, walking, taking etc.) the recommended tours or using the network of paths occurs at users’ own risk and on their authority. In particular, users themselves are responsible for the choice of route, outdoor orientation, adherence to traffic rules, supplies and equipment for tours listed in Point 1 (e.g. bicycle etc.), wearing a helmet, estimating their own fitness, recognising dangers and maintaining an appropriate velocity. We exclude ourselves from any liability whatsoever for damages, in particular accidents, that occur whilst taking part in the recommended tours.
2.Some of the tours lead over roads with normal traffic conditions. Please observe that there is an increased risk which can be avoided by means of appropriate attention and proper estimation and implementation of one’s own abilities. For this reason, please travel a route that is unfamiliar to you slowly and with special care. Pay constant attention to potential dangers and always observe traffic. Do not leave the routes featured in descriptions.
The potential use of private roads, in particular forestry roads and agricultural transport roads, can be subject to legal restrictions, which must be observed and adhered to.
The normal traffic rules apply. Each user (e.g. biker, motorbiker) is responsible for adhering to these rules and maintaining his/her bike/vehicle and its equipment (lights, brakes etc.) in good working order. Each user is also responsible for ensuring that he/she rides at a velocity that is appropriate for the conditions and his/her skill level and for maintaining sufficient distance to the rider in front. We explicitly recommend adjusting velocity to correspond to the respective field of vision, wearing a helmet, using reflective clothing (or similar) and employing bicycle lights in line with regulations.
3.Each tour requires good physical fitness as well as detailed planning. We explicitly recommend only taking the tours in the case of optimal healthiness.
We recommend that you conclude an accident and liability insurance policy. Use an onboard computer that displays the respective kilometres travelled per day and is calibrated for the front wheel.
4.Special for mountain bikers – Fair-play rules:
Mountain biking is one of the most wonderful outdoor leisure-time activities. Whilst biking or on a mountain biking tour, mountains and lakes, meadows and cabins are re-discovered in new ways. A couple of rules for fair play in the forest help to avoid conflicts whilst mountain biking.
a.Pedestrians have the right of way: We are accommodating and friendly to pedestrians and hikers. Upon encountering these fellow travellers, we alert them by using the bicycle bell and slowly overtake them. We avoid paths with heavy pedestrian traffic altogether. Take nature into account: We do not leave refuse behind.
b.The braking distance should be half of the total distance visible: We ride at a controlled pace, are ready to brake and maintain a braking distance half as long as the total distance visible, especially in curves, because we always have to count on obstacles on the path. Damage to the path, stones, branches, wood piles, grazing livestock, cattle grids, barriers, tractor-type forestry machines and authorised vehicles pose dangers that we need to be ready for.
c.Don’t drink and drive!: Do not drink alcohol when mountain biking. Take care at stop-off points (dealing with bike racks, dirty shoes or clothing).
It is obligatory to provide first aid!
d.Marked routes, closed paths and blockades: Keep to the marked routes, observe the blockades and accept that these roads are primarily for agricultural and forestry use!
Blockades can often not be avoided and are in your own interest. Biking beyond the intended path and outside of opening times is punishable and turns us into illegal bikers.
e.We are guests in the forest and behave accordingly, including vis-à-vis forestry and hunting staff. Whilst mountain biking, mobile telephones and music players are forbidden! Biking requires your full attention.
f.Avoid unnecessary noise. Out of consideration to the animals living in the wild, we only bike during full daylight. As a principle, we always wear our helmet (even when riding uphill)! Don’t forget emergency supplies: We always have a repair set and bandages along.
g.Don’t overestimate your skills: We should not overdo it when it comes to biking technique and physical fitness. Take the level of difficulty posed by the route into consideration and make a precise estimate of your experience and skills as a biker (braking, bell, lights)!
h.Close gates: We approach grazing livestock at a walking pace and close every gate behind us. We should avoid causing escape and panic reactions in the animals. Nothing stands in the way of the fun and athletic challenge in the mountains and forests!
i.Traffic rules: The general traffic rules (StVO) apply for all the mountain biking routes and we adhere to them. Our bike therefore needs to be in perfect technical condition and equipped in line with the traffic rules, including brakes, a bell and lights. We inspect and service our mountain bikes regularly anyway.
