CURVESCOUT / MOTORCYCLE RIDE
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
From Reichraming it runs 286 km to Reichraming; allow about 4 h 44 of riding. It goes by way of Linz - Siedlung Martinsfeld, Historic Centre of Český Krumlov and back through Linz - Siedlung Martinsfeld. The stored terrain estimate reaches about 1,100 m; a measured road-elevation profile is not available. It crosses from Austria into Czechia - carry ID and check vignette or toll rules. The line favours views over speed.
Wilder Graben translates as the wild ravine, and the name fits the country south of the Enns valley in Upper Austria, where the Kalkalpen National Park protects a great tangle of limestone mountains, gorges and forest. This is the Reichraminger Hintergebirge, a maze of steep valleys with clear green streams at the bottom and almost no settlements at all. It is one of the largest forested areas in Austria, and parts of its old beech woods belong to the World Heritage site of ancient beech forests across Europe.

Kalkalpen - Wilder Graben is where the day begins. Next is Linz - Siedlung Martinsfeld.
Linz sits on the Danube about halfway between Vienna and Passau, and its history goes back to the Romans, who built a fort here called Lentia. The site of the Roman settlement lies under the old town, near the castle and the main square, and the remains of the civilian settlement spread to the surrounding districts. Martinsfeld, where this stop is placed, lies close to the centre, and the old church of St Martin nearby is one of the oldest surviving churches in Austria, with parts of its walls dating back more than a thousand years.

Linz - Siedlung Martinsfeld comes up about 72 km into the recorded legs. Next is Historic Centre of Český Krumlov.
Český Krumlov is shaped by a river. The Vltava makes a series of tight S-bends in a rocky valley in south Bohemia, and the old town sits in one of the loops, with a castle on a cliff above it, so that the whole place feels like a stage set. The castle is the second largest in the Czech Republic, with a round tower painted in Renaissance style, a bridge across the moat where brown bears live, and a Baroque theatre from the seventeenth century that still has its original stage machinery. The town was owned by the Rožmberk family and later the Schwarzenbergs, and the painter Egon Schiele lived here for a time in 1911. UNESCO listed the historic centre in 1992.
