Short description:
Free as the wind! Thus, on the Plattenberg, the local mountain above the Laussa Valley, not only the wind turbines rotate on high masts, but also the wheels of the bikes. This bike tour is peppered with sweaty uphill passages and in two places signs command you to dismount. As a reward for the efforts, however, you can enjoy views over the Ennstaler Voralpen and far into neighboring Lower Austria again and again.
