%The “Gravel Heaven” route offers a high proportion of gravel roads, with a short train ride adding to the adventure. Start at the Mur promenade and head to the train station for a 40-minute trip to Leibnitz, a quaint town south of Graz. In Leibnitz, cycle through the town and follow the river Sulm to reach the picturesque Kitzeck. This region, part of the “Styrian Wine Route,” is known for its vineyards and “Buschenschanken” serving local specialties and wine. Enjoy the hilly terrain with rewarding views and downhill sections. After some ups and downs, hit the gravel roads through scenic fields. Conclude the ride with a return to Graz, passing by the Schwarzl See, a swimming lake, for a refreshing finish.
