The city-country tour goes from Schwanenstadt via Vöcklabruck to Ungenach & Atzbach and back again - on cycle path 6.
A few weeks ago, the new Hausruckwald magazine (summer 2024) „G'schichten vo damois und heid ...“ came out and there were a few cycle tours listed. Of course, I couldn't help but tackle the cycle tour right on my doorstep. I'm generally more of a runner or walker, but there are days when I really enjoy going out on my bike. So without further ado, I got on my bike and off I went. The route is leisurely, relaxing and nice to cycle.
Do you know the Hausruckwald magazine? This issue even features Michael and me 🤩 Can you find us?

Relaxed urban-rural tour: Schwanenstadt, Vöcklabruck, Ungenach, Atzbach, Niederholzham and back
The tour starts in Schwanenstadt, where I cycled the first stretch along the River Ager. After a while, I passed the quarry ponds (Redlham gravel ponds) and continued my journey via Alt-Attnang to Vöcklabruck.
From Vöcklabruck, the route continues in the direction of Ungenach. Almost the entire route is on paved cycle paths, with only a short stretch of around 500 metres leading through a forest path - which I really wanted to ride because it added a bit of variety to the tour. I then cycled back to Schwanenstadt via Atzbach and Niederholzham.
A small highlight on the way back: just before Niederholzham, I spotted a place-name sign with the name „Kochlöffling“. That just made me smile.
