R8 Dream Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful bike path with great rest areas. The section between Ratten and Birkfeld and Anger to Stubenberg is perfect for families! (Please note: there is no bike path between Birkfeld and Koglhof.)

This rest stop is perfect for a short break on the Feistritztal cycle path. There is a shaded seating area and in the hut a refrigerator with drinks and also a refrigerator with Jolly, Twinni, etc.

History of the R8 Cycle Path on the Former Birkfeld–Ratten Railway Line

Highlight • Cycleway

If you are on the first part of the R8 "Feistritztal Radweg" cycle path, you should take the time to stop and study the lovingly designed board about the history of the railway and the cycle path.

Wonderful section of the Feistritztal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

On this section, the cycle path leads through beautiful nature and often directly along the banks of the Feistritz, far away from noisy roads. There is also a rest area that invites you to take a break in idyllic surroundings.
