The Gitschtal cycle path R3b is ideal for family cycle tours and is characterised by an easy route and the beautiful landscape. It connects the Gitschtal and Weissensee to the Gailtal cycle path R3 and invites you to stay at several rest and play areas.
Author’s recommendation
Make a detour to the Weißenbachklamm gorge near Jadersdorf and discover rare animals and plants.
